Step-by-Step Guide to Syncing Your COROS® Smartwatch with the Swim Coach App

1. Download the Swim Coach App
   Install the Swim Coach App from the App Store (iPhone®) or Google Play Store (Android®).

2. Connect to COROS®
   In the Swim Coach App, navigate to your account settings and connect to COROS®. Ensure that you grant all necessary permissions so that your Swim Coach workouts can sync with your COROS® smartwatch, and your completed sessions can be transferred back to the app.

3. Create a Workout or Training Plan
   Using the Swim Coach App, design a workout or build a custom training plan. Double-check that the pool length is set correctly for accurate tracking. Once your workout is ready, transfer it to COROS® by tapping the smartwatch icon at the top or using the menu in the top-right corner. You’ll receive a confirmation message once the transfer is successful.

4. Access Workouts in COROS® app
   In the COROS® app, go to the Progress tab (pull down on the screen to refresh). Once synced, your Swim Coach workouts should appear in the Training Calendar or Training Plan Library within the app.

5. Transfer Workout to Your Smartwatch
   From the Progress tab, tap on your watch’s name to access device-specific options. Select Training Plan Library or Workout Library (depending on your app version and watch model). Tap on the workout / training plan, then select Sync to Watch. Ensure your smartwatch is nearby and connected via Bluetooth. The app will transfer the plan to your watch.

6. Start Your Workout
   On your COROS® smartwatch, navigate to the Training or Workouts menu (varies by model). Look for the synced training plan or workout in the list. Select it and press Start when you’re ready to begin.

7. Sync Your Completed Workout
   After you finish your swim, your COROS® smartwatch will sync with the COROS® app via your smartphone. Once synced, your completed workout will automatically appear in the Swim Coach App, with detailed statistics and performance insights.

Excellent app with a good price point. I've seen remarkable improvements in my time trials using a generated 12-week program. Highly recommend.

I've tried at least 4 other swim apps, and this is the best one by far... price is super inexpensive comparatively and the quality of workouts and plans are great! As an experienced swimmer, this was everything I've been looking for.

I've been using this app for a couple of months now and will gladly keep it in my swimming toolbox. Easy to use. The workouts are fun and challenging. You can customise workouts to suit your needs. It definitely helped improve my swimming and kept me motivated.

Awesome! You get the perfect workout for you every time. I download the workout onto my Garmin watch so I can just swim without fumbling around trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing.

Great app to start training without being an expert swimmer.

It has been my swimming coach for the past 3 months and I've already shaved 15 seconds off my 100m pace.

Great app for setting up and recording swimming training, even in the free version.
