Description
You used to be really good at swimming.
Now you swim at the public lap pool. You share lanes with snorkel triathletes. You're trying to get back, but you don't have time to think about what to swim every time you show up.
Do Sides? builds your set so you don't have to.
OVERLY-COMPLEX™ WORKOUT GENERATOR
The app reads your swim and every other workout from Apple Health, runs a 10-step calculator (recovery score, stimulus rotation, rest-corrected yard budgets, progressive breathing sets) and builds a workout that fits what you've actually been doing this week. EN1, EN2, EN3, SP, technique. Proper periodization. Deload weeks. Benchmark sets every 4th week. Shapes rotate automatically — no back-to-back repeats.
DELIVERED TO YOUR APPLE WATCH
Lock in the set and it goes straight to your Watch via WorkoutKit. Send-offs, rest intervals, drill instructions — all on your wrist mid-swim. Phone goes in the locker.
YOUR PROGRESS, TRACKED
The Books tab logs every swim back from Apple Health. PR detection. Lungbuster progression (every 3 → every 5 → every 7 → ladder → every 9 → The Sufferer). Benchmark trending. Milestones. Shareable card for your group chat.
WHO IT'S FOR
- Former USA Swimming / NCAA swimmers now in their 30s and 40s
- Masters swimmers who used to compete and want structure again
- Anyone who can recite the difference between EN2 and EN3 from memory (if not, we have a glossary)
NOT FOR
- Learning to swim
- Open water / triathlon training
- General fitness (unless you like to push yourself)
ON YOUR DATA
The app reads Apple Health, read-only. No backend, no account, no third-party analytics, no tracking. Everything stays on your phone.

Nouveautés (v0.6.3 (9))
v0.6.2 — Making progress on making goals cleaner. Currently focused around the first 12 weeks back but I'm cranking away on what a cultural shift will look like when you're back to the pool for years, not just returning for the first couple weeks.
Added:
- Goals leads with your Program: A new card up top shows the chapter you're in, what that chapter is for, and the whole three-chapter arc.
- Goals say what they actually do. Each goal in the library now spells out the lean it puts on your program
Changed:
- Goals tells the truth about itself. Plain language: the program runs every time you swim; a goal just tilts it toward something specific. The program is the foundation — the goal is the thumb on the scale. (It always worked this way under the hood; now the screen says so.)
- Progress "This Week" matches the calendar: It now counts the current week the same way the calendar right above it does.
- Your Usual: updated the weekly progress comparison from 7 day rolling average to your average week over the last month — instead of a single, noisy signal.
- Workout titles match the actual set: Titles now read off the day's real work instead of a fixed label. Now "Threshold + Kick" only shows up on a day that actually has a kick - lol small oversight my bad.
