MySwimPro Splash Mode: Follow Swim Workouts on Your Phone from the Pool Deck

Introducing Splash Mode on iOS
Ditch the whiteboard, forget about trying to print out a workout, and don’t stress about syncing a smartwatch. With MySwimPro’s new Splash Mode, now available on iOS, swimmers can easily follow their swim workouts directly from their phone while on the pool deck. This exciting feature eliminates the need for printed workouts or additional devices, making it more convenient than ever to stay on track during your swim session.


What is Splash Mode?

Splash Mode is designed for swimmers who want to view their workouts on their iPhone without the hassle of managing extra gadgets or paper workout plans. By simply taking your phone to the pool deck, you can now access a streamlined view of your workout while keeping your phone dry and protected.


Key Features of Splash Mode:

  • Workout on Your Phone: View your full workout directly on your iPhone screen.

  • Larger Text for Better Visibility: Easy-to-read text, ensuring you can follow along, even in the midst of your session.

  • Interactive Controls: Swipe to advance to the next set and easily track your progress through the workout.

  • Countdown Timers: Stay on pace with built-in countdown timers between sets.

  • Water-Resistant Mode: Compatible with most water-resistant phone cases to help protect your device.


How to Use Splash Mode

  1. Open the MySwimPro app on your iPhone and preview your upcoming workout. Be sure to watch any included technique videos to get ready for drills and learn new tips!

  2. Tap “Start Your Workout” to begin.

  3. Select “Start Workout on iPhone” to activate Splash Mode.

  4. At the pool, prop your iPhone (iPhone 7 & later) horizontally using a water bottle, kickboard, or tripod. Position it near the pool's edge so you can easily read and interact with the screen during your workout. For extra protection, we recommend using a waterproof phone case or clear drybag to keep your phone safe while still being able to see and tap the screen.

  5. Turn up the volume on your iPhone to hear the countdown bells between sets and watch any technique videos directly from the pool.

  6. Plunge into your workout and keep up with each set! With big, bold numbers on the screen, you can easily see each set, your interval time, pace clock, goal time, and the number of reps.

  7. Need to pause, skip a set, or make adjustments? Simply hold down the small (…) menu icon to access the controls.

  8. Snap a selfie! At the end of your workout, the app will automatically capture a quick photo of you, which you can share on MySwimPro, Strava, or TrainingPeaks. Show off your swim by tapping the share icon and posting to social media!

  9. Log your workout and review your detailed analytics on the app. Check your total time, pace, and calories burned, along with a breakdown of your strokes per lap and how you performed on each rep.


Who Can Use Splash Mode?

Splash Mode is currently available to all iOS MySwimPro users who have access to swim workouts via the app. Whether you're a free or Premium member, this feature is available to simplify your swim training experience.
