Free Swim Workout Generator

Quick answer. AquaPlan's free swim workout generator and builder is best for swimmers who want to create a structured pool session in the browser. Building does not require signup; a Free account is required to save the custom session and use its PDF or Garmin-compatible FIT actions. It supports warmup, drills, main set, cooldown, repeat groups, rest intervals, pool lengths, and swim-specific training zones.

AquaPlan's free swim workout generator is a browser-based, drag-and-drop tool for building structured pool sessions — warmup, drills, main set, cooldown. It supports nine color-coded swim training zones, repeat groups, rest intervals, and pool lengths from 25 m short course to 50 m long course (yards too). Use it to plan your next masters session, design a triathlon-prep workout, or build a fins set you can save to a Free account.

How to build a swim workout in 4 steps. Step 1: open the builder above — no login, no email gate, the drag-and-drop canvas is already loaded. Pick a pool length, give the session a name, and you are ready to add your first set. Step 2: drop in warmup, drills, main set and cooldown — each phase is its own block, so the structure stays readable. Use the four-phase layout swimmers actually use on deck, not a generic fitness template that flattens everything into one list.

Step 3: tune intervals, repeats and zones. Add repeat groups for sets like 8 by 100 m on 1:45. Pick from nine color-coded swim zones (recovery, endurance, threshold, sprint, drill, kick) so intent is obvious at a glance poolside. Step 4: create a Free account, save the session, and open its export actions. Saved single-session PDF export remains Free and has no watermark.

Free also includes 3 lifetime Garmin-compatible FIT trial exports; Premium makes FIT export unlimited. Frequently asked questions. Do I really not need an account? Correct for building on the canvas. A Free account is required when you want to save the custom workout and export it. Is the PDF export really free? Yes. Sample and library PDFs download directly, and Free accounts can export saved single-session PDFs.

Premium adds the complete multi-week training-plan PDF. How is this different from a generic workout planner? Generic planners flatten swimming into one long list of intervals. AquaPlan models swimming the way swimmers think about it: four phases (warmup, drills, main set, cooldown), nine swim-specific training zones, and proper repeat-group math. What pool lengths and units does it support?

You can build for 25 m, 50 m, 25 yd, or 50 yd pools. Switching the unit changes the label on existing numeric distances; review the session total after a change.
