Three are actually three types of swords in Fencing: A foil, which is a lighter and safer practice weapon; an epee, which is heavier with a triangular cross section and fluting along the sides of the blade; and a saber, which is used to slash and thrust.

What is a training sword called in fencing?

The weapon used for training in the fencing duel era was called the foil (fleur). It is still used as one of the 3 weapons for fencing today, although it has never historically been a real weapon used for combat. There isn't a training sword in fencing. Originally the foil (see above) before the sport fencing - like we know it now - exsisted. Now you choose a weapon (like the foil) and train with that. So in fencing there is no training sword.
