See how Lapwizard compares to typical swim apps
"Finally, an app that respects my journey."
Already a Competitive Swimmer?
You might be wondering: Why can't I skip to Advanced features?
Here's why: Lapwizard needs to learn your patterns first. Your fastest stroke. Your typical workout length. When you fade. When you're strong.
Those first 15-40 workouts aren't about teaching you to swim — they're about teaching Lapwizard to coach you.
The metrics we unlock aren't generic. They're calibrated to your history. Your CSS zones are calculated from your actual time trials. Your efficiency trends are compared against your own baseline, not some generic standard.
Give us 15 workouts. We'll give you a coach that actually knows you.

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 advanced features behind paywalls. Lapwizard is different: we show you only what matters at each stage of your journey, and advanced features unlock based on your commitment (15 and 40 workouts), not your credit card. It's a commitment wall, not a paywall.
How do I unlock Intermediate and Advanced features?
Features unlock automatically based on your workout count. After 15 workouts, you unlock Intermediate features like SWOLF scores and stroke analysis. After 40 workouts, you unlock Advanced features including CSS calculator and training zones. You cannot pay to skip ahead — these unlocks are earned by swimming.
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.
Why can't I pay to unlock Advanced features?
We believe advanced analytics should go to committed swimmers, not the highest bidder. The tier system rewards consistency over cash. More importantly, after 40 workouts, you'll have enough data for those advanced metrics to actually be meaningful. SWOLF trends and CSS zones don't help if you don't have the history to compare them to.
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.
Is there a free trial?
Yes! Lapwizard offers a 7-day free trial. You can explore all features and see how the app works with your swimming routine before committing. No credit card required to start the trial.
