Every session kept. Every race understood.
Train keeps Monday morning in full from a whiteboard photo — with nothing asked of athletes. Compete keeps every official swim, best and club record in one track record. Open one, then the other, and see the correlation for yourself.
- Train: a whiteboard photo is the whole job — no retyping, no extras
- Compete: every official swim, best and club record in one place
- Nothing asked of athletes — no scores, no forms, no wearables
Train for the work. Compete for the races.
Two separate modes, each complete on its own. Train keeps your sessions in full from a single photo. Compete keeps every official swim, best and club record in one track record. As the coach you hold both — look at the track record, look at the training record, and see the correlation for yourself.
Monday's session, remembered in December
Snap the whiteboard. That's the whole job.
No retyping after the session, no backlog that never gets entered, nothing handed to athletes to fill in. A photo of the board on deck is enough — the organised training record builds itself from there.
Each session is kept in full — warm-up, main sets, repeats, rest, strokes, equipment, even the segments inside mixed reps — so December can still see what Monday morning actually contained.
- Photo the board: take a picture on deck and MyAthlete reads the sets for you.
- Write it like you say it: type 10x100 Free @1:25 and MyAthlete understands distances, strokes, efforts and rest.
- Your words, your shorthand: keep your own names for things — if easy is "smooth" and sprinting is "blast", MyAthlete learns that.
More than "we did a lot of kick last week"
A week later, every plan blurs into a summary. MyAthlete keeps the ins and outs instead: how much was kick, how much was threshold, how tight the rest was, which squad swam it — stored accurately from the session itself, ready whenever you ask.
The same board lands differently on different squads, so the record is anchored to each squad's own race speeds. And because everything is read from the session — never from an athlete's 2-out-of-5 guess — there is no regression to the mean. No subjectivity means a simpler routine and a far more accurate record.
- Kept in full: stroke mix, sprint vs endurance balance, efforts, rest and pool — not just total metres.
- True to each squad: seniors and juniors swimming the same board get correctly different reads, from their own race speeds.
- Objective by design: measured from what was written, so a hard week can't flatten into everyone answering "3/5".
Fresh, building, or overdoing it?
After a few weeks of sessions, MyAthlete learns each swimmer's normal workload and reads form in plain terms: primed to race, building well, or piling up fatigue — purely from the training record, with no input from anyone.
Coaches see the shape of the whole squad — who is flying, who is building, who needs a break — and tap any group to see exactly who is in it. Read from sessions already kept. No daily check-ins, no wearables, nothing asked of athletes.
- Plain-English form: primed, building, or carrying fatigue — per swimmer, per squad.
- Who needs attention: Monday starts with names, not hunches — groups open to exact rosters.
- Every timescale: this week, rolling 28 days, rolling 12 weeks, or any custom range — same depth throughout.
Showing up predicts the PB
A personal best looks backwards. Attendance, streaks and balanced weeks point forwards. Train makes consistency visible and worth protecting — per swimmer, per squad, all season.
Planned vs done every week, metres left on the table when sessions are missed, and permanent leaderboards and Hall of Fame across streaks, distance, hours and attendance.
- Streaks worth protecting: consecutive sessions attended, shown as a number swimmers defend.
- Metres behind: missed sessions accumulate visibly — fair to excused absences.
- Squads at a glance: weekly planned vs done, top consistency plus flags, stroke and easy/hard mix in one view.
Every race, fully understood
Separately, Compete keeps the complete racing picture for every athlete you coach. Open a swimmer's track record, then open their training record, and judge the correlation for yourself.
Every meet, read like a coach reads it
Results stop living as scattered PDFs. Every official swim lands with context — how far ahead or behind best at the time, in seconds, plus World Aquatics points so quality compares across strokes and distances.
Zoom out to the meet: squad performance trends, strongest strokes and distances, full meet history per swimmer. That is the meeting debrief, already written — who stepped up and which events are moving.
- Per-swim context: every race vs best-at-the-time, in seconds, with WA points attached.
- Squad trends: performance over time across the squad, strongest events, full meet history in one place.
- Yours to cross-reference: keep the track record open, check the training record separately, and draw your own conclusions.
Bests, records and goals — handled
Lifetime and season bests track themselves across every stroke, distance and course. When an official result lands, Junior and Open club records ratify automatically — no paper lists, no missed breakthroughs.
Turn targets into plans: adopt an official cut as a goal and track seconds left with the weekly pace needed, project a target-meet range, and set lap splits with fair 25m ↔ 50m conversions. And you can open any athlete you coach in their full Compete mode — the same deep view they see, from your seat.
- Best tracking: lifetime + season bests with WA points, best strokes and distances at a glance.
- Records that sort themselves: Junior & Open credit awarded together when a swim earns both.
- Every athlete, fully open: goals, standards, projections and history for each swimmer you coach.
