The safety standard
Capability is built with judgment.
Askēsis gives training guidance, not medical care. Good practice protects technique, recovery, and the ability to return tomorrow.
Start from today
Use the easier variation, reduce range, pace, load, or volume whenever control changes.
Pain changes the plan
Stop for sharp, increasing, unfamiliar, or persistent pain. Do not train through symptoms to complete a screen.
Water needs margin
Never swim alone in open water. Follow venue rules, weather guidance, supervision requirements, and your own demonstrated ability.
Escalate early
Seek qualified medical advice for new, severe, recurring, or unexplained symptoms, and before returning after a significant injury or illness.
Urgent symptoms
Chest pain, severe breathing difficulty, fainting, signs of stroke, a serious injury, or immediate danger require local emergency services, not an app message.
