SwimDNA
SwimDNA is a swim training platform that creates periodized, adaptive plans tailored to each swimmer's goals, body, and total activity load. The platform analyzes user profiles, training feedback, and event demands to generate specific workouts that adjust based on performance and recovery. It supports pool racing, open water, triathlon, and fitness swimming with app, watch, and paper-based workout delivery.

Problem
Most swim training is static and built for an average swimmer who doesn't exist, relying on generic pace calculators, fixed programs, or one-size-fits-all workout templates. Swimmers have different events, goals, fitness levels, injury histories, and life constraints, yet standard training plans fail to account for these individual differences, slowing progress and increasing injury risk.
Solution
SwimDNA creates a periodized training plan that adapts to each swimmer's goals, body, life, and total activity load. The platform analyzes a swimmer's profile—including age, history, health, injuries, and availability—along with training feedback such as workouts, performance, RPE, fatigue, and recovery. It then combines this data with goals and event demands (pool, open water, triathlon, fitness) to generate specific, measurable workouts. After each session, the swimmer logs results and how they felt, and SwimDNA's intelligence analyzes the response to adapt the plan going forward, ensuring the right work, intensity, skills, volume, and recovery at the right time.
Target Audience
Primary users are recreational to competitive swimmers including pool racers, open water swimmers, triathletes, Masters athletes, and fitness swimmers seeking personalized training, as well as guardians of minor users (ages 13-17) who require parental authorization.
