Random iPhone App of the week:Speedo has launched a fitness app designed to help swimmers of all levels set and reach their swim -- and fitness -- goals by providing platforms for motivation, guidance and community. Speedo Fit allows users to log and track swims, join challenges, interact with friends, find pools, learn proper technique, find the right swim gear and watch training videos by Ryan Lochte, Summer Sanders, Natalie Coughlin and Jessica Hardy, to name a few. My favorite part of the app is how users can track their distance, duration and sets over days, weeks, and months. It's like a swim version of my running watch. Another nifty feature through the app's Map Goals section allows swimmers to calculate their distance swimming in the pool by "virtually" swimming some of the world's most exotic swim destinations, including an "Amazon Adventure" and "Bali Escape." This would be a big motivator for me: pretending I'm someplace else. Download the free app here.
