What does Swimphi mean?
Swimphi is made up of two words: swim + phi. Swim is what we do. Phi is the name of the Greek letter Φ which represents the Golden Ratio. The Golden Ratio is used a lot in our programs, products and software. Artists, architects, and designers also use it to make their creations visually appealing. The Golden Ratio Φ is a magical number derived from the Fibonacci Sequence and Golden Spiral.
Above are examples of the Golden Spiral. It is found everywhere in space, nature and even our DNA.
