Feature Tour

Every great swim starts with a plan — and every TraPlaGo plan starts in the Plan Settings dialog. Think of it as your personal coach's clipboard: a handful of dials that shape exactly the workout you're in the mood for today. Here's what each one does — in motion.

The settings at a glance

Before we dive into the details, here's a quick scroll through everything you can tune.

Generation mode

Some days you want a gentle, restorative swim; other days you're ready to be surprised. Generation mode dials in that mood — from the calm, supportive Simple coach all the way to the wonderfully unpredictable Bonkers one. Explore the five modes →

Training goals

Tell TraPlaGo what you're chasing. Pick a big-picture personal goal — lose weight, build endurance, get faster — or a focused per-workout goal like aerobic endurance or sprint power, and the plan leans in that direction.

Choosing personal and per-workout training goals

Total distance

How much time do you have in the water today? Slide anywhere from a quick 500 m to a full 10 km, and TraPlaGo fits the warm-up, main set and cool-down to match.

Focus distance

Training for a specific event? Point the plan at your target race distance — from a snappy 25 m to a grinding 1500 m — and your sets line up behind it. More on focus distance →

Selecting a focus distance from 25 m to 1500 m

Pool length

A set that's perfect in a 25 m pool feels different in a 50 m one. Tell TraPlaGo your course — 50 m (LCM), 25 m (SCM) or 25 yd (SCY) — so distances and turns match the water you actually swim in.

Choosing the pool length / course

Strokes & disciplines

Not in the mood for butterfly? No problem. Choose exactly which strokes may appear — freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, individual medley and more. More on strokes →

Toggling which strokes the plan may use

Intensities

Keep your swimming honest and interesting with intensity modifiers like descending, build, negative split and fast finish — the little twists that turn a flat set into a challenge. More on intensity modifiers →

Equipment

Got fins, paddles, a pull buoy or a snorkel in your bag? Let the generator know, and it weaves gear-specific sets right into your plan. More on equipment →
