About this app

Built for the FORM Smart Swim Goggles. Your underwater coach gives you real-time visual feedback to get the most out of your swims and improve your swimming technique.


1. HEADCOACH™ - A revolutionary swim experience with in-goggle visual coaching coupled with comprehensive in-app analysis and educational resources. In the water, practice head pitch, head roll, and pacing to perfect your technique. Elevate your technique and improve your performance with real-time coaching.


2. ALL YOUR SWIM TRAINING IN ONE PLACE - Choose between Plans and Workouts based on your swim goals. Work through a Plan structured to improve your swimming skills or swim an individual guided workout. You can also load your own workouts automatically from TrainingPeaks or through our custom workout builder.


3. LENGTH-BY-LENGTH INSTRUCTIONS - At the pool, let your goggles guide you through your swim with instructions and progress updates. No more paper, plastic bags or relying on your memory to know what to do next.


4. ANALYZE YOUR METRICS - Sync with the app to review each set out of the pool after every swim—and revisit past workouts to track your progress over time. You can share stats with your coach, too. Customize your goggles with metrics that are important to you.


5. SWIM ANYWHERE - Made for swimming in pools, open water, and swim spas. Connect your goggles to a supported Apple Watch or Garmin smartwatch to get GPS-based metrics in open water. Alternatively, use the goggles independently for a unique open water experience.


6. TAKE YOUR DATA TO GO - Automatically sync your workouts with Strava, TrainingPeaks, Apple Health, Today’s Plan, and Final Surge. Perfect if you’re training for your next triathlon.


The FORM Swim App works with the FORM Smart Swim Goggles, the first wearable fitness tracker for swimmers and triathletes that shows metrics in real time on an augmented reality display. Learn more at www.formswim.com.

Ratings and reviews

The app itself is pretty neat, but I run all of my multimodal training through Garmin. The fact that Form doesn't automatically push data to Garmin, and manual uploads of data exports are ignored Garmin analysis makes this solution dead in the water for me. As soon as I figure out a better solution, I'll be making a switch. (I understand that integrations require collaboration with partner teams in product development, but I expect Form to drive that).

The activation for the goggles is absolutely frustrating. They force you to put in payment for the subscription even if you don't want it. Shop Pay loads indefinitely and never gets anywhere, Google Pay displays an error that it needs to be paid in a browser, even though you're using an app, and PayPal doesn't fill in credit card information, and when you switch screens to get your information, you have to start all over again. Did they even test this at all? Completely unacceptable!

In general, it works well. Keeps track of workout and is easy to read. My one gripe is the way the workout builder is set up. You can't do repeat intervals, only rest intervals. You can't set rest times below 10 seconds, so no 25s w/ 5s rest. They've limited the interval distances available. You can't do 225s or 350s if you wanted. Most annoyingly, you can't do a 1650 even though that is the short course yard competition equivalent of the 1500m.

What’s new

For us, making swim goggles with a smart display is just the start. We try to improve our experience, even in little ways, with each update. Here's what's new in this release:
