Workout routes

The session "Build custom swimming workouts with WorkoutKit" at WWDC 2024 introduces several enhancements to WorkoutKit, particularly for swimming workouts. Here are some key points:

1. User-Selectable Workout Locations: Starting in watchOS 10.1, users can choose between indoor and outdoor workout locations, allowing more flexibility in scheduling workouts.

2. Custom Step Names: In watchOS 11, you can customize step names for all workout types, providing more context for each step, such as types of exercises or perceived effort levels.

3. Custom Pool Swimming Workouts: WorkoutKit introduces a new goal type that combines distance with time, allowing swimmers to perform repeated sets of distance and rest. This feature is particularly useful for creating structured swimming workouts.

4. Distance with Time Goals: This new goal type lets you specify both a distance and a time goal for a single workout step. The workout only advances to the next step once both goals are achieved.

5. New Alerts and Goal Types: There are new alerts for average power in running and cycling, and expanded support for distance goals in various outdoor activities.
