About Kymos
Kymos is a swimming app in French built around three roles: coach, swimmer and parent. It brings together federation race times, qualifications, training schedules and competition replies, so groups no longer juggle chat messages, spreadsheets and result sites. Times from the French swimming federation are synced and linked to each swimmer's licence.
Coaches manage groups with invitations by link or QR code, plan water and physical-preparation sessions with exceptions and attendance checks, and run competition selections with replies and reminders. They see group rankings by event, pool and season, qualification minima, gaps and deadlines, and tools such as Versus to compare two swimmers and Allure to set target pass times. Swimmers get a home screen with the next session, next competition, qualifications and club ranking, plus race profiles from intermediate times.
Parents follow a child's qualifications, minima, schedule and pending replies without decoding federation tables, and a child account needs no email. The app is free to download with in-app purchases: Coach Free covers one group of 8 swimmers for the current season, Coach Pro removes those limits, and an optional swimmer Premium adds race analysis and progression tools.
