Write it once.
Find it forever.
Sendoff is swim practice planning software for coaches and for swimmers serious about their own training. Build a practice in minutes with the math done for you, keep every workout you or your staff has written in one place, and see what was actually swum — instead of hunting through folders and flash drives for last season’s set.
Not a coach? Sendoff is free for swimmers training on their own.
A practice builder that does the math for you
Type the set and the distance and time update as you go. Rounds, strokes, tags, and coach notes at the workout, set and exercise level. Notes print with the set, so whoever is running it has them.
Save any block you reuse and drop it into the next practice.
Send-off lanes. Up to four lanes in one practice, each leaving on its own send-off, with reps and distance shared. The stats project onto whichever lane you are looking at — one practice, four clocks.
Find any practice you’ve written
Every workout your coaching staff has written, in one place. Filter by coach, by group, by season — or by what a group has actually swum, which comes from attendance being taken rather than from the date having passed.
Workouts stay editable by whoever wrote them, and anyone on staff can duplicate one to make it theirs. No more asking which folder last season’s taper set is in.
Nothing leaves your team unless you publish it. If you want ideas, there is a public library to browse — opt in, never automatic.
Group and season training stats
Per team, per group, per swimmer, filtered by date or season. Weekly volume, attendance trends, and a swimmer leaderboard. Roster, groups, seasons and personal bests all live alongside them, and practice-update emails go to swimmers or parents on whichever preference they set.
Attendance rate divides by the sessions you actually recorded, not by everything on the schedule — so a full season of future practices cannot drag a group to 60% when they have made 29 of the 30 that have happened.
Works on the pool deck, with no signal
Not just attendance. With no connection you can write a new practice, edit one, delete one, build a training plan and move workouts around its calendar — and take attendance. Everything you do is queued on the device and sent the moment you have signal again, in the order you did it.
Reading works too: the practices, roster and attendance for a group you have opened stay on the device for a week, so the set you are running is there whether or not the pool has wifi.
Deck View puts the practice on a tablet in type you can read from the water, keeps the screen awake, and runs full screen. Installs as a real app on a phone or tablet.
And on paper: export to PDF, Word or plain text. The default sheet is bare — name, distance, the sets — and everything else is a switch you turn on.
Better than a flash drive and a folder nobody can find
Most swim programs do not run on software. They run on a folder on one laptop, a flash drive in a coach’s bag, a group text, and last season’s binder in the pool office. It works right up until the coach who wrote it all is not there — and then a season of practices leaves with them.
Sharing. Save a practice and it is on every coach’s phone. No emailing documents around the morning of, no “can you send me that set again”, no two versions of Tuesday with nobody sure which one is current.
Storing. Nothing leaves with the coach who wrote it, and everything stays searchable — by coach, by group, by season, by what a group actually swam. Last year’s taper set takes seconds to find, and a new assistant coach starts with the whole history instead of a blank page.
Tracking. Attendance and training volume are recorded as the season happens, not reconstructed from memory in June. Who swam, how much, how often — per swimmer, per group, per season.
Nothing to install on a club computer, nothing to back up, nothing that lives on one person’s hard drive. If your team is currently on paper, a shared drive or a folder of PDFs, this is the step up from that.
Not coaching? Sendoff works for your own training too
Sendoff Individual is a separate free plan for a swimmer writing their own sets — the same builder, your own workouts, no team and no coach needed. See what Sendoff Individual does.
Pricing
Free to build and export workouts — no credit card. Pro adds planning, scheduling and lifetime analytics. Teams adds the roster, groups, attendance and coaching staff.
Refer another team and you both get a month free. Every team gets a shareable code. When a new team enters yours as they sign up, the free month lands on both accounts — and it stacks, with no cap on how many teams you bring in.

- What is swim practice planning software?
- It is where a coach writes, stores and shares practices instead of keeping them in documents on one laptop. Sendoff adds up distance and time as you type, keeps every practice your staff has written in one searchable place, and records who actually swam each one.
- Can I use Sendoff for free?
- Yes, whether you are a coach or a swimmer training on your own. Building and exporting workouts is free with no credit card. Individual Pro ($5/month) adds training plans, scheduling, lifetime stats and training groups; Sendoff Teams ($45/month per team) adds the roster, attendance, season statistics and a coaching staff.
- Does it work on the pool deck without wifi?
- Yes, and for more than attendance. With no connection you can write a new practice, edit or delete one, create a training plan and schedule workouts on it, and take attendance — every change is queued on the device and sent in order once you are back in signal. Practices, rosters and attendance for a group you have already opened stay readable on the device for a week. Deck View shows the practice on a tablet in type readable from the water, and Sendoff installs as a real app on a phone or tablet.
- Can my whole coaching staff share workouts?
- Yes. Every practice your staff writes lands in one team library, filterable by coach, group or season. Whoever wrote a practice can edit it, and anyone on staff can duplicate it to make their own version.
- Do swimmers need accounts?
- Not for Sendoff Teams — it is a coach tool by design. Swimmers exist on the roster as records, with no logins for a coach to manage, and practice updates reach them or their parents by email on whichever preference each family sets. A swimmer who wants to plan their own training can make their own free Sendoff Individual account separately; it is not connected to the team roster and the coach does not manage it.
- Can a swimmer use Sendoff on their own, without a coach?
- Yes. Sendoff Individual is a separate free plan for a swimmer training on their own: the same live-calculating workout builder, saved workouts, and export to PDF, Word or plain text, with no credit card. Individual Pro is $5 a month and adds a training plan calendar, lifetime stats and analytics, Google Calendar sync, training groups with friends, and a public workout library to browse. It does not require a team and does not need a coach to invite you.
- Can I keep the system my club already uses for registration and billing?
- Yes, and most teams should. Sendoff does not do registration, billing or meet entries, and is not trying to replace the system your club runs on. It is the practice layer that sits beside it.
- Can I print practices or export them?
- Yes — PDF, Word or plain text, generated on your device. The default sheet is deliberately bare: name, distance, the sets. Paper size, text size, stroke names and tick boxes are all switches you turn on per coach or per export.
