Community Insight:
The game is nice and fun but its very outdated. We swim competitively and this is super fun and immersive. Itd be nice if more things were added. For instance longer events like the 400 im or 400 free and beyond. Another suggestion are relays or different swimming formats like lcm or scy. Make it so your swimmer is able to go faster than the current world record in these events.
This is the best game we have ever played especially to swimmers like us it so fun and we hope this because a big game and its very worth it.
Update this game please! Or make a sequel like Dive Champ. This game is amazing! We have a few suggestions- long course! There should be a separate menu where we could compete in a 50-meter Olympic sized pool. Also, open water swimming. Up to 5K, swim the same as in the pool, but instead of turns at certain points you have to maintain your energy (new mechanic) that you can get on boat checkpoints. New events- 400 , 500, 800 and 1650 Freestyle events. 400 IM as well. Great game.
This game is so fun to play! We think you should make a track and field game, it would be helpful with the PBS and splits that you have! Thanks.
Good game except it freezes all the time.
It's good but we think you should be able to customize your swimmer's name and for the swimsuit add neon yellow suits. Also in options you should be able to customize the arena. Also on customize swimmer ad Michael Phelps brand.
Great great app! We've found ourselves putting countless hours into it. Although there is a bug that we've noticed. In practice mode we can't swim distances longer than 400m because the app crashes if we do. Also, you should add more distance in events, like the 200m Fly and stuff. Another thing we would really enjoy would be increasing the level cap. We only say that because sometimes you need an extra boost so you put your level up points into your strokes but then because of that your lung capacity or something suffers. So personally in conclusion, we'd like to see more events and more distances for each event, and an increased level cap. And to be able to practice longer than 400m. Seriously though, this is probably the best game we've played on our iPhone. :-).
This game is the best swimming game here, but it needs a few improvements considering it has never been updated. Here are some ideas. 1) Add more events. This game could use longer events, like the 200's of each stroke, the 400 IM and distance freestyle. 2) Add a long course option. This would give the game an Olympic feel, and you could add world records for your swimmer to strive for. 3) Make a career mode. We know this game is technically a career mode, but you could use a career mode where you start as an aspiring age group swimmer, and work your way up to an Olympian. 4) Finally, could you make more realistic splits. We are a competitive swimmer, and we know that the splits of the 25's would not all be the same. This is a great game for all ages, and we hope that people realize that.
We love your games! Could you make one for water polo.
We've been searching for a swim game with all the features that this game has. And all we've gotta say is that they hit the nail on the head with this simulator. By far the best swimming game on the App Store.
It should have different swim people because they look the same but have different swim caps.
This game starts good and fun. But then when you do the training after level 10 it crashes. Please fix!!! Has the potential to be a fun game.
