Swimming training plans, built for your goal

Swimming rewards technical efficiency as much as fitness — two swimmers with identical conditioning can have very different times because of stroke technique alone. SportBlox builds your swimming training plan around your goal, current level and whether you're training for the pool or open water, and works with your Strava data.

Who it's for

First open water event

Sighting, drafting and open water confidence layered onto pool-based fitness.

Improving club times

Structured interval sets and technique work aimed at a specific 100m or 200m goal.

Adult learn-to-swim fitness

Technique-first sessions for adults building comfort and efficiency in the water.

A week of swimming training

Example: a 200m freestyler in a mid-season quality block. Your own plan is built around your event, level and schedule.

How SportBlox personalises it

Your goal & event date

Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.

Your skill level

Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.

Your stated weaknesses

Tell SportBlox about things like “bilateral breathing”, “open water sighting and navigation”, “turn and finish technique” and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.

Your schedule

The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.

Works with Strava

Connect Strava and your logged sessions feed back into pacing and progression.

Coaching a swimming team?

SportBlox builds your team's training plan around the squad as a whole — its goals, weaknesses and upcoming events — and you review and refine every session before your athletes see it.

For coaches

Swimming training plan FAQ

Does this work with Strava?

Yes — connect Strava and your logged swims feed back into pacing and progression.

Do I need pool access?

Most sessions assume pool access for interval and technique work; flag open-water-only access and the plan adapts accordingly.

Is this suitable for adult beginners learning to swim?

Yes, set skill level to Inexperienced and sessions prioritise technique and comfort over pace.

Will it fit around my squad training?

Tell it your existing squad sessions and supplementary work is scheduled around them, not on top of them.

Does it prepare me for open water specifically?

Yes — if your goal involves open water, sessions add sighting drills and simulate the pacing demands of racing without lane lines.
