Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Lapwizard
What makes Lapwizard different from other swim apps?
Most swim apps overwhelm you with data from day one and lock features behind monthly subscriptions. Lapwizard is different: you can explore the full app free with sample data, features unlock progressively as you swim (or immediately if you override), and it costs $4.99 once instead of a monthly subscription.
Is there a free trial?
Lapwizard is free to download. The app comes loaded with sample swim data so you can explore every feature, every screen, and every analytics view before spending anything. When you're ready to connect your own Apple Watch swim data, it's a one-time $4.99 purchase. No subscription, no recurring charges.
What do I get for free vs. the $4.99 purchase?
The free download gives you the complete app experience with sample swim data. You can explore every feature: workouts, analytics, training zones, coaching suggestions. The $4.99 one-time purchase connects the app to your real Apple Watch swim data via Apple Health. There's no feature difference between free and paid, only whether you're looking at sample data or your own.
Why is it a one-time purchase instead of a subscription?
Lapwizard has no backend servers, no cloud storage, and no ongoing costs. Charging a monthly subscription for an app that runs entirely on your device didn't feel right. $4.99 once gives you everything, forever, including all future updates.
How do I unlock Intermediate and Advanced features?
By default, features unlock based on your workout count: Intermediate at 15 workouts, Advanced at 40 workouts. But if you're an experienced swimmer who wants everything immediately, you can override the tier system in Settings. The progressive system is there for swimmers who prefer to ease in, not to hold anyone back.
Can I override the progressive tier system?
Yes. Go to Settings and unlock Intermediate or Advanced tiers manually. The default progression exists for swimmers who prefer to build up gradually, but experienced swimmers can access all analytics from their first workout.
What is Critical Swim Speed (CSS)?
CSS is the fastest pace you can sustain aerobically, essentially your threshold pace. It's calculated from 400m and 200m time trials using a formula trusted by Olympic coaches. Lapwizard guides you through the test and uses your CSS to create 5 personalized training zones for optimal training.
Does Lapwizard work with Apple Watch?
Yes! Lapwizard reads your swim workouts directly from Apple Health, which syncs automatically from your Apple Watch. You swim with your watch as normal, and Lapwizard imports and analyzes your data. No manual entry required.
Where is my data stored?
All your data stays on your device. We don't have accounts, cloud storage, or servers that store your swim data. Lapwizard reads from Apple Health using read-only access. Your swimming history never leaves your iPhone.
Can I use Lapwizard as a complete beginner?
Lapwizard includes a 'Learn to Swim' training goal designed specifically for beginners. The app starts simple with just the basics: distance, duration, and encouraging tips. As you swim more, the complexity grows with you. You'll never feel overwhelmed.
What are the 6 training goals?
Lapwizard offers six training goals: Learn to Swim (for beginners), Fat Loss (steady calorie burn), Cardio Health (heart health focus), Technique (efficiency and form), Endurance (distance and stamina), and Speed (race pace and intervals). Each goal shapes your workout suggestions.
How does the readiness system work?
Before each session suggestion, you select how you're feeling from 8 readiness levels: Great energy, Normal, Tired, Bad sleep, Stressed, Recovering from illness, Sore muscles, or Jet lag. Your workout volume and intensity automatically adjust to match your body today.
