Welcome to Phlex! We understand that you might have questions about the best way to integrate Phlex into your child's swim training. This guide aims to provide clarity on some commonly asked topics and walk you through the process.
Setup Guide
1. Account Setup & Login Information
- Primary Email Address: The email address you used to make your Phlex purchase is your primary login. This email address has the license/subscription active on it, meaning it's the one that can access and use the Phlex app. If your team or coach purchased everything then they will handle this step, please still feel free to reach out for support if you have any questions!
- Swimmer's Account: If you'd like your child to have their own separate Phlex account, using their unique email address, this is absolutely possible. If you need assistance with setting this up, please let us know, and we're here to help!
2. Assigning a License to Another Email/Account
Would you like to assign the Phlex license to your child's email? (If your team or coach made the purchase then they will handle this.) It's straightforward! Here's how you can do it:
- Visit the Phlex Dashboard at app.phlexswim.com.
- Navigate to Settings.
- Proceed to Billing and Subscriptions.
- Next to the Invite option, you'll see a "+" icon. Click on this.
- Enter your child's email address. This will send them the license via an email.
Alternatively, for a more hands-off approach:
- Ask your child to download the Phlex app and set up their account.
- Afterward, simply provide us with the email address they used, and we can assign the license manually from our end.
3. Viewing Your Swimmer's Data
- Phlex Dashboard: The Phlex Dashboard is your primary source to monitor your child's progress. Here, you can view individual workouts, and track changes over various time frames, from weeks to years.

How Phlex Works
Phlex is a comprehensive swim tracking platform that helps coaches save time and stay better connected with their athletes and their families. The platform automatically collects data on each swimmer, allowing coaches to easily identify individual strengths and weaknesses, spot overtraining and undertraining, and measure progress in multiple ways. This is how it works:
How Phlex Benefits Coaches and Swimmers
Phlex's science-backed technology is the most trusted in the swim community, and for good reason. Our platform allows coaches to:
- Identify that every swimmer is unique
- Be better prepared for meets by tracking critical long-term metrics
- Spot and manage overtraining and undertraining
- Measure progress in more ways than just best times
- Establish better relationships with their swimmers
With Phlex, coaches have the tools they need to develop their athletes to their full potential.

How Phlex Benefits Parents
As a parent, you are an important part of your swimmer's team. With Phlex, you can stay better connected with your swimmer and their coach, and have access to valuable information on your swimmer's performance and progress.
In addition to being able to view your swimmer's profile in the app, your coach can also send you detailed reports and other information to keep you informed. And with our dedicated page for blogs and articles, you can learn more about how to use the platform and how the best teams and swimmers are using Phlex to achieve their goals.

Coach Approved
As a member of a team that has chosen Phlex for its coaching platform, you can trust that you are receiving the highest quality tools and resources available. With its extensive features and technology backed by scientific research, Phlex is the ultimate choice for coaches, swimmers, and parents who are committed to achieving top-level results. Don't just take our word for it - see how Phlex is used by Team USA coach Ron Aitken and the Sandpipers of Nevada to drive success.
How to stay informed with Phlex
So much data can definitely be overwhelming. Phlex introduces coaches, swimmers and parents to many new concepts and metrics. Like all new things, you may feel lost at first and in need of a user guide. Not to worry, it is our goal to share as much of our science-backed technology as possible.
For this, we have created a dedicated page for blogs that will dive deep into different parts of the platform and case studies on how the best teams and swimmers are using Phlex. The possibilities are endless, and teams are finding new ways to use our technology every day!
