Training built for your goal
Not guesswork — by the numbers
The first 7 days are free, no card needed. No automatic charges: you renew your subscription manually.
Open water preparation is designed for 12 weeks and requires more than just endurance. You need to master sighting, returning to calm breathing after looking ahead, and choosing your effort based on conditions. Practice in open water is done in a permitted area with organised supervision, never alone; the plan in the app does not replace safety measures.
The 1trAIner coach builds a plan around your level, your pool schedule and your ability to train safely in open water. Data from a Garmin or Apple Watch syncs automatically, and the plan is recalculated after every workout. Your notes on waves, water temperature and anxiety help assess a session more accurately than speed alone.
At the start, the key skills are practised in the pool: looking ahead, keeping your rhythm and swimming without frequent stops. If conditions and readiness allow, open water sessions with supervision are added later. Progress is assessed by effort management and confidence in navigation, and pace is compared with an adjustment for conditions. After the free trial, the subscription costs 450 ₽ per month or 4999 ₽ per year, with no automatic charges.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a sports watch?
No. You can start without one: the plan is based on your goal, level, and available time. With a Garmin or Apple Watch, the plan can be tailored more precisely — the coach can see your heart rate, sleep, and actual weekly training volume.
What happens after the free week?
The subscription costs 450 ₽ per month or 4999 ₽ per year. There are no automatic charges: your card details are not stored, and you renew manually using the link in the reminder.
Is the coach a person or a program?
1trAIner is an informational service: plans and reviews are prepared by AI based on your data. This is not a medical service and not a substitute for a doctor or an in-person coach.
What if my goal changes?
Let the coach know in the chat. Your plan is currently built around “Open water swimming: 12 weeks of preparation”, but race dates can change, injuries happen, and vacations come up. The coach will adjust your training cycle to fit your new circumstances.
