Now live — free tier included

Your AI, fluent in swim coaching

The Swimming Ideas MCP server connects Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini — or any MCP client — directly to our knowledge base. Ask your assistant about teaching swimming and get grounded answers from the method, with links to the source.

What your assistant gets access to

The same content you can browse on the site — structured for machines, answerable in seconds.

1,100+
Articles

Technique, class management, and the method in practice

11
Quest stages

The five pillars, from first lesson to full program design

148
Games

Ready-to-run pool games, each tagged with the skill it builds

180
Lesson elements

The AAC building blocks behind the lesson generator

What you can do with it

Ask the method anything

“How do I teach rotation to a Level 2 group?” — grounded answers drawn from the stages and articles, with links to the source page.

Plan in the method, not in generalities

Your assistant knows the AAC Formula, command language, and level structure — so a lesson it helps you plan is actually a Swimming Ideas lesson.

Find the exact game

“Give me a low-equipment game for streamline with 12 kids in one lane.” It searches all 148 games and hands you the right one.

Cite, don't hallucinate

Every answer comes with the source page. When your AI answers a coaching question, you can open the page and see exactly where it came from.

How it works

Add one server to your MCP client. That's the whole setup:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "swimming-ideas": {
      "url": "https://www.swimmingideas.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Compatible with Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and any other MCP client.

What your AI can do

  • search_knowledge — search 1,100+ articles
  • get_page — full text of any page
  • find_game — search all 148 games
  • get_stage — any of the 11 stages
  • generate_lesson — a ready-to-teach AAC lesson

This site is built to be read by AI

Every page is server-rendered and crawlable without JavaScript. We publish an /llms.txt guide for AI assistants, a full sitemap, and per-page metadata — so when your assistant searches the web for swim coaching, it finds us, reads us, and cites us.

The MCP server is the next step: instead of your assistant reading one page, it queries the whole knowledge base.
