With HeadCoach™, FORM delivers real-time feedback and post-swim analysis that rivals having the best coach in the world on the pool deck, right there with you. HeadCoach™ delivers powerful, personalized insights tailored to improve your technique and become a faster swimmer.
Now, with our biggest update to HeadCoach™ yet, you’ll get bespoke swim coaching that’s more personalized, actionable, and aligned with your goals in the water.
Here, we’ll break down how our newest evolution of HeadCoach™ expertly analyzes your swims, highlights what matters most in your technique, and guides you on what to focus on next so that you can keep improving, every swim.
Understanding You as a Swimmer
To give you the most relevant and effective feedback, HeadCoach™ looks at three key aspects of your swimming so that your insights are tailored to what matters most for you and your goals.
- Your Objective
Within the FORM App, you can set your Objective, whether it’s preparing for a triathlon, racing a fast 100m Freestyle, or simply improving your technique or endurance.
HeadCoach™ uses your Objective to determine what matters most in your training. For example, a triathlete may need to focus on holding pace over longer intervals, while a sprinter might need to maintain technique at high speeds. Different goals require different kinds of work in the water, and HeadCoach™ adjusts accordingly.
Set your Objective
- Swimmer Type
Even swimmers with the same goal have different strengths and weaknesses, and that is where your Swimmer Type comes in.
To classify your unique Swimmer Type, HeadCoach™ analyzes your swim data and identifies how well you hold your pace, maintain your efficiency, sustain your technique, and respond when you try harder. HeadCoach™ uses this to give you personalized guidance on how to improve and a framework to track your progress over time.

- HeadCoach™ Skills
HeadCoach™ already tracks your specific technique HeadCoach™ Skills, including Head Pitch and your Peak Head Roll. Now, it goes further by not only identifying which Skill to focus on, but also showing how to improve it and measuring your progress along the way.
With your Objective, Swimmer Type, and HeadCoach™ Skills data, HeadCoach™ pinpoints the areas that matter most for your improvement and delivers focused, personalized insights to help you get faster, more efficiently.
Giving You Feedback When You Need It
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by how much swimming content there is and figuring out what to work on next. HeadCoach™ takes the guesswork out of the process by analyzing your swim data for you and surfacing clear, simple feedback that’s easy to act on.
Right as you start your swim, HeadCoach™ gives you a single, focused reminder in your goggles so you can head into your workout with purpose and clarity.
Then, when you swim a workout from FORM, HeadCoach™ will automatically activate the HeadCoach™ Skill that is most relevant to your swimming. This will provide you with real-time guidance to help you adjust your technique in real-time!
