FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Our FAQ is the answers to all your questions about the app and our open water events.
📱OPENSWIM APP
What is OpenSwim?
OpenSwim is a swimming workouts app. Suitable for all swimmers, you will find training sessions and swimming programs.
Where can I download the app?
The app is available on the App store and the Play store. You can get the app by clicking on the store of your choice.
I'm a beginner, can I use your app?
Of course, OpenSwim is for ALL swimmers, whatever your level. When you register, enter your level and you will find the appropriate content on the app.
Every day, we offer you a different workout of the day, directly displayed on your homepage. When searching for your next workout or program, you can also filter by level, to see only content suitable for you.
I have a smartwatch, can I use it with the app?
Yes, OpenSwim is compatible with Garmin, Apple, Suunto, Coros, Polar and Strava. To activate synchronization, go to My Account > Connected Objects. Choose your smartwatch, then follow the steps to start the connection.
Be careful, if you connect several objects or watches at the same time (for example, your Apple watch and your Strava account), you risk having duplication of your workouts. Think about it!
Why synchronize your app with Strava?
If you swim with a smartwatch not supported today on the app (other than Garmin, Apple, Coros, Suunto), we recommend that you activate synchronization on the app. In this way, any new swimming activity on Strava will be automatically synchronized on the app. And every workout validated in the app will be sent to Strava.
Find out more details on our article about Strava sync.
I do not understand some of the terms in the application. What can I do?
If you are unfamiliar with some of the terms used, use our glossary. Accessible from the left menu of the app, the glossary contains all the details on abbreviations, technical terms, drill terms… and other words used in swimming.
I often swim with friends. What can I do?
If you have shared a workout with a friend, in your activity history you can add this friend to your workout. He will receive an invitation to share your workout with him. If he accepts, all workout statistics will be duplicated on his profile.
Do I have to register my FFN license?
No! Registering your FFN license in the app is not mandatory, but may offer you some advantages in the future.
