The Screaming Viking says: “A few years ago I started training USRPT myself and became a believer. So, as a coach, I wanted to take what I had learned to try to implement with my team and ran into a lot of challenges. So we made a game out of it: we make an X/Y/Z score, the kids plug it into the app, and we get to see how they’ve progressed in any particular race they’re training, and now I don’t have to look up anybody’s target times– the kids can calculate that themselves.
If you use USRPT in any way, individually, as a part of your season, or if you are full-on USRPT, you are gonna love using our app: SwimViking RPT by Strive Swim.”
With the Swim Viking RPT app there now is a way to put race pace training and tracking in the hands of athletes and coaches, keeping them engaged and helping them to see their improvements with visuals that make sense. Multiple athletes can be linked to a single coach, so that as an athlete logs their USRPT training progress, coaches can access it at any time. By using the app, no matter to what extent you incorporate the app into your season plan, you will have an easy way to take ownership of your swimming. Whether you are an age group or college swimmer, a coach with a large group of athletes, or a masters athlete who wants to try something new, the Swim Viking RPT app by Strive will help you navigate your way to speed.
