I was curios if you think eventually this could work with Garmin as well?

@tyler_bush Absolutely! Garmin support is one of the most requested features and it’s definitely part of the vision for Swimio.
A basic Garmin Connect integration is actually already available today, so Garmin users can sync their activities. The main limitation is that Garmin Connect and Apple Health don’t expose exactly the same data, which means some of the advanced metrics and insights available on Apple Watch aren’t fully accessible yet through the Garmin ecosystem.
I’m also actively working with Garmin to bring a deeper native experience. At the moment, Garmin is going through some changes on their developer platform, so part of the timeline depends on updates from their side. Once those changes are finalized, I’ll be able to move much faster.
The goal isn’t just to support Garmin devices, but to bring the full Swimio coaching experience to Garmin swimmers as well. Feedback like this helps me prioritize what’s most important for the community!
@luca_corsilli Thank you! I will def have to check it out as someone that has both apple and Garmin haha.
As someone who swims 3-4x a week the water lock thing is exactly the pain - every other app i've used i end up jabbing at a wet screen mid-set and losing count, so being able to scroll metrics with the crown is honestly the feature that'd make me switch. and tracking swolf + stroke efficiency instead of just laps is what actually tells you if you're improving or just tired. clearly built by someone who's spent real time in the pool. nice one.

@fanny_guillou Thanks so much for this feedback. This is exactly the problem I wanted to solve when building Swimio. I was constantly frustrated by having to interact with a wet screen during workouts and losing focus on the actual training.
The Digital Crown navigation and Water Lock workflow were designed specifically for swimmers who spend a lot of time in the pool, so it's great to hear that resonated with you. And I completely agree on SWOLF and stroke efficiency, laps alone rarely tell the full story of whether you're actually becoming a better swimmer.
I'd love for you to give Swimio a try and let me know how it compares with the apps you've used before. Feedback from experienced swimmers like you is incredibly valuable as I continue improving the platform. Thanks again for the support!
The Apple Watch detail matters. In a pool, the interface has to respect attention and water lock instead of pretending the user can babysit a screen. I would keep testing the handoff between generated plan, live watch guidance, and post-session correction; that is where coaching apps tend to become either useful or noisy.

@krekeltronics Thanks, Patrick. I completely agree.
The Apple Watch experience was actually one of the main reasons I started building Swimio. In the pool, you shouldn't have to fight the interface or constantly look at the screen. The interaction model has to respect the reality of swimming, water lock, and the fact that your attention should stay on the workout.
Your point about the handoff between workout generation, in-session guidance, and post-swim analysis is spot on. That's exactly the area I'm focusing on because it's where an AI coach can either become genuinely useful or just add noise.
Really appreciate the thoughtful feedback and perspective. Comments like this help validate the direction Swimio is taking.

@divvsaxena Fair point 😄. I spent way more time building Swimio than filming it. A better demo video is definitely something I need to work on because seeing the Apple Watch experience in action tells the story much better than screenshots. Thanks for the honest feedback!
This feels like one of those products that was clearly built by someone who actually swims. The Apple Watch experience sounds especially thoughtful because small usability details matter a lot when you're in the water.

@advin_jadis Thanks, that means a lot. You're absolutely right. Swimio was built from the perspective of someone (me) who spends a lot of time in the pool and has been frustrated by existing swim apps and the Apple Watch experience in the water.
Really appreciate you checking it out. I’d love for you to try Swimio and hear what you think!
