My daughter dropped 8 seconds in her 200 breast the first time she used it. She updated her plan before finals and dropped another 6 seconds. We're still kind of in shock.

I've been chasing my 100 back cut for a year. The checklist helped me find the 0.4 seconds I needed.

How it works

Three steps. Five minutes. A plan you'll actually use.

1

Enter your race and your goal

Pick the event, your current time, and the time you want. Add splits and stroke rate if you have them. Works in SCY, SCM, and LCM.

2

Get your coach plan

Swimmers get a race-specific plan based on individual times and goals. Every plan has a punch list that highlights where to save time.

3

Update after each meet

Log new times as you swim them. The plan adapts. Watch the gap close on a chart that shows real progress, not vibes.

What's in a plan

One real plan, top to bottom.

No fluff, no jargon. Written so swimmers know exactly what they need to do.

9:41 ●●● 5G ▮
100 Backstroke SCY
▼ 1.5 sec to goal · 1:03.80 target

Three tenths a length. That's the whole gap, and it's smaller than it feels.

Your 50 back is already fast. The speed is there — that's the hard part. So this whole 1:03.8 thing isn't about swimming harder. It's about not slowing down. The race is basically: be fast, then refuse to die.

Your walls are your secret weapon. Every push-off, you get to dolphin kick underwater — and underwater is faster than swimming on top. So every wall is free speed.

The third 25 is where you win. You just got a free push off the wall, so that's your attack length, not your survival length.

Race-day checklist
  • Three jobs only: great underwaters, no turn hesitation, hard finish
  • Fast but smooth on the first 25 — leave a gear
  • Count strokes from the flags — no hesitation into the wall
  • Third 25 is the attack length
  • Hips up, head still, eyes up (swim downhill)
  • Drive the last stroke into the wall — full reach back

Why this works

Generic advice ("swim faster, train harder") doesn't drop tenths. Specific advice does.

Every plan is built around three things: your race (stroke + distance + course), the current gap between your time and goal, and your context (other times you've logged, your start and turn ratings, your stroke strengths).

You get a focused plan with a punch list that tells you where the seconds actually live. You know the specific target you need to hit to meet your goals.

Update your plan as your times change. The advice changes with you.

A different kind of swim app

Other apps train you. MySwimCuts helps you race.

Most swim apps live in the practice pool. You get workouts, sets, and drill libraries. MySwimCuts lives at the meet. It's built around one question: how do I drop time at my next race?

Training apps

Built for practice

  • Workouts, sets, and dryland circuits
  • Generic drill libraries
  • "Train harder, swim more"
  • Volume-focused metrics (yards, hours)
  • Same plan for every swimmer

MySwimCuts

Built for the blocks

  • A plan for your next race
  • Specific turns, pacing, and mental cues
  • A punch list of where the seconds hide
  • Gap-focused metrics (time, drops, cuts)
  • Personalized to stroke, age, and gap

Already use a training app? Great. MySwimCuts is what you open for the meet.

Why the plans hold up

Not generic AI. Coach-built.

When your plan says "the third 25 is where you win," that's not a guess. It's drawn from 200+ age-group, high school, and college coaches checked against 100K+ actual race times. You get advice you can trust on the blocks, in the voice of the coach you wish you had.

2

See every swimmer's goals and plans

Your roster shows each linked swimmer's current times, goal times, the gap to close, and every plan they've generated.

3

Build optimal relays instantly

The Relay Builder is free for coach accounts. Pick your relay and it finds the fastest lineup from your linked swimmers who have times logged. All standard relays supported.

No subscription required. Create your account and share your code. It takes three minutes.

Why we built this

A specific problem. A data-driven fix.

Swimmers train for months, then walk to the blocks without a plan for the actual race. Hitting a goal takes more than "train harder." We generate a real plan for this race, this gap, and this swimmer. That gap between preparation and performance is where MySwimCuts lives.

The coaching knowledge to close that gap already exists. We conducted 200+ coach interviews and analyzed 100K+ race times to map exactly where time gets lost. By event, by distance, and by level. Then we built a system to put that knowledge in every swimmer's hands, personalized to their race and their goal, updated as their times change.

It's not generic AI. It's structured coaching knowledge, pointed at a specific problem.

The App
Where does the coaching advice come from?

MySwimCuts is built on insights from 200+ age-group, high school, and college coaches, combined with 100K+ race times. Every plan is generated for your specific race, age, current time, and goal. It's not generic content; it's a plan written for you.

Will this really drop my time?

A plan won't swim the race for you. What it does is end the guessing — it tells you, specifically, where the seconds are hiding and gives you a few concrete things to work on between now and your next meet. Swimmers who follow their punch list and update the plan after each meet watch the gap close on the chart. The first plan is free so you can see whether it works for your swimmer before you pay anything.

What does a plan include?

Each plan gives you a coach-style race strategy — pacing guidance, technical cues, mental prep — plus a printable race-day checklist. Plans are personalized based on your event, current time, goal time, and swimmer profile (age, favorite stroke, turn and start ratings).

What races do you cover?

MySwimCuts is available for all standard race distances in all standard course lengths — SCY, SCM, and LCM. Every plan is tailored to the course you're racing, since pool architecture (number of turns, length of each lap) actually changes the strategy. We also do the conversion math, so a SCY 100 back PR informs your LCM 100 back plan too.

Can I convert times between course types?

Yes. On any race card, tap the Convert button to see your time translated across Short Course Yards (SCY), Short Course Meters (SCM), and Long Course Meters (LCM). You can set the converted time as your working view and generate or update your plan based on that new perspective.

Accounts & Families
What ages is this for?

Any competitive swimmer 10 and up gets value from MySwimCuts. For swimmers under 13, a parent must create the account and grant COPPA-required consent. Swimmers 13+ can create their own account, with optional coach and parent links.

Who can create an account?

Swimmers 13 and older can create their own account. For swimmers under 13, a parent must create a parent account and add the swimmer — this also satisfies the COPPA parental consent requirement. Coaches can create a free coach account and link swimmers using a unique code.

Can I have multiple swimmers in my parent account?

Yes, you can add as many swimmers as you want. Each swimmer requires a subscription.

Can my coach see my plans?

Yes — optionally. You can link a coach to your account with a code, and they get a read-only view of your races, goals, and plans. They can't change anything. You can unlink any time.

For Coaches
Do coaches have to pay for an account?

No. Coaches can create an account and share their coach code with swimmers for free. Swimmers (or their parents) subscribe to unlock AI-generated plans — the coach account itself has no cost.

What is the Relay Builder?

The Relay Builder is a free tool for coach accounts. It analyzes the times of all linked swimmers and finds the optimal lineup for any relay event — freestyle or medley. For freestyle relays it ranks swimmers by speed and suggests a leg order. For medley relays it tests every possible swimmer-to-leg combination and picks the assignment with the fastest projected total time. Mixed medley relays (2 male + 2 female) are also supported.

Which swimmers appear in the Relay Builder?

Only swimmers linked to a coach account with times logged for the relevant event and course are considered. A swimmer with no 100 Backstroke time in SCY, for example, won't appear as a candidate for that medley leg. Coaches can also request AI coaching notes that explain the lineup and flag alternate swaps.
