- Proud to share a major next step in Swimtraxx's growth as the go-to tool for swimmers and their coaches to plan and keep track of training progress. Today we are launching Swimtraxx Recovery. It fills the gap between what we are already great at: tracking workouts. From now on, swimmers can keep track of their recovery in the app and see how training and life is affecting them.

- Proud to take this important step towards world domination! 😇
- Two years ago at Swimtraxx, we decided to be very clear: our current technology is not primarily targeted at triathletes. We truly create value for competitive swimmers and their coaches, not for athletes that spend 10% of their race in the water. (we might be working on something new though 😉 )
- Dear swim coaches, quit the spreadsheets! Swimtraxx Hub is a free app that allows you to track athlete attendance in an amazingly easy interface.
- We are on a mission to make the craft of swim coaching easier and more sustainable. Automating tasks that don't add value to you or your swimmers is what we do for a living. Just so you can focus on the real deal. Check out our free workout timer. (link in first comment)
