Custom workouts for swimming

Hi there,


wanted to ask whether anybody knows anything about Apple adding custom workouts to Apple Watch just like they did with running or cycling. It's a bummer it was not included in watchOS9. Apps like MySwimmPro do it well but they cost an arm and leg.


Cheers!
