Description
Automatic Lap Counter with Stopwatch and LARGE FONTS; Lap Swim is an Apple Watch (Series 2 and later) App that automatically detects, displays, records and graphs the lap count and elapsed time of a swim session. Detects and displays the type of stroke and stroke count during each lap.
- Detects and displays the lap direction and lap count while swimming using the gyroscope in the Apple Watch
- LARGE FONT display of time and lap count
- Stopwatch function while swimming
- Auto start/stop mode detects swimming and automatically starts (or stops) the stopwatch
- Lap counter counts up from 0 or counts down from preset lap goal
- Senses and displays freestyle strokes, backstrokes, and breaststrokes
- Detects and counts kickboard laps
- Records and graphs (on the paired iPhone) the following:
------ Date and time of a swim session
------ Time for each lap and of entire swim session
------ Number of laps
------ Average speed and speed for each lap
------ Stroke count and type of stroke (freestyle, back, breast or kick board)
------ Distance in meters or yards
- Enters workout information into the Health and Activity apps
Lap Swim uses the gyroscope and accelerometer in the Apple Watch to detect the type of stroke and the orientation of the swimmer. Using this information it displays the lap count of a swim session. Lap Swim also has a standard stopwatch function. The swim session information is transmitted to the paired iPhone and displayed on both a table and a graph.
Lap Swim is free and fully functional for the first 250 laps. After that, Lap Swim continues to function but it requires a low cost IAP to display the lap count.

Ratings and Reviews
Very useful in the pool.
The problem with the pool swim workout on the watch is that the standard display is difficult to see under water, especially if you need glasses. This app solves that problem with it’s large display setting. I can now see the display whilst gliding after a turn without having to stop.
Review and suggestions
Easier stop, save and swim control would be nice, as well as larger font showing which lap I am on, or even better total distance covered.
On half lap/ turnaround auto display for a couple of seconds could inform swimmer while pushing off
Developer Response ,
Please see the newer version with large font. Stop/Start is automatic or enabled with a simple rotation of the crown.
Has potential but too fiddly starting and stopping workout!
This was nearly what I was looking for but having to turn the crown to select tiny buttons on screen to stop or pause the workout is ridiculous. Also you can only do this once you’ve unlocked the screen. Why can’t it just be paused and stopped the same way the Apple app works using the 2 side buttons. Such a shame.
