Frequently Asked Questions

How does TraPlaGo create swim plans?

TraPlaGo uses advanced algorithms that incorporate swimming best practices, training principles, and creative variation to generate unique swim plans tailored to your specifications. Each plan balances proper structure (warm-up, main set, cool-down) with engaging variety.

What are training goals and how do they work?

Training goals are a two-layer system. A personal goal captures your big-picture motivation — losing weight, building endurance, preparing for a race, or simply enjoying the water. A workout goal targets the specific physiological stimulus for today's session: aerobic endurance, lactate threshold, sprint power, technique drills, and more. TraPlaGo automatically translates your personal goal into appropriate workout goals and derives the right intensity mix for each session.

Can I use TraPlaGo if I'm a beginner?

Absolutely! TraPlaGo's Simple mode is perfect for beginners, providing straightforward workouts with clear instructions. Pair it with a goal like Enjoy Swimming or Learn to Swim and you'll get sessions that build confidence without overwhelming you. As you progress, you can explore more challenging generation modes and goals.

Which generation mode should I choose?

Match the mode to your energy level that day. Simple suits recovery days or beginners; Adventurous adds variety for regular training; Tricky engages your brain with complex sets; Absurd and Bonkers push advanced swimmers to their limits. Your training goal and the generation mode work together — for example, "Get Faster" pairs well with Tricky or Absurd, while "Improve Technique" works best with Simple.

What is Focus Distance?

Focus Distance tells TraPlaGo which race distance you care most about right now. The algorithm then increases the frequency of sets at that distance and adjusts intensity patterns and rest intervals to match the demands of that event. See the Focus Distance guide for details.

What is Critical Swim Speed (CSS)?

Critical Swim Speed is a scientifically-backed threshold pace derived from timed test efforts. Entering your CSS in TraPlaGo lets the generator calibrate exact training paces for each intensity zone, making your workouts precisely right for your current fitness level.

Can I use TraPlaGo with my swim team or club?

Yes! Coaches use TraPlaGo to create varied workouts for their teams. Our upcoming TraPlaGo Together feature will make collaborative planning even easier.

Do I need to know how to swim before using TraPlaGo?

Yes. TraPlaGo is designed for swimmers who already have basic swimming technique. If you're new to swimming, we recommend taking coaching lessons first. Once you're comfortable in the water, TraPlaGo can help take your swimming to the next level.

Where can I learn more about swimming training?

Our swim training guide covers energy systems, training principles, stroke techniques, workout structure, and equipment — a solid foundation for understanding how TraPlaGo builds your plans. The documentation goes deeper on individual features.

From the Founder

"As a competitive swimmer for many years, I've experienced firsthand how repetitive and uninspiring swim training can become. That's why I created TraPlaGo - to bring creativity and fun back to swim training while maintaining effective training principles. I use TraPlaGo for my own swim sessions two times a week, and it's completely transformed my relationship with the pool. Each workout feels fresh and purposeful, and I find myself looking forward to swimming again!"

— Kai Mindermann, Founder of TraPlaGo
