For swim coaches with busy schedules and lofty goals, Commit Swimming is the workout management software that helps you save time, stay organized, and reach your goals.

Commit helps you manage your workouts. And, with Commit, you can type workouts just like you would write them down on paper.

Think of Commit as having the flexibility of Google Docs with the added benefit of a really awesome calculator, specifically for swim coaches.

Who uses it and what are they saying?

  • Coaches from 89 different countries write, on average 6 workouts per week in Commit.
  • >80% of teams using Commit say Commit’s customer service is “significantly better” than the other swimming software companies.
  • 9 out of 10 coaches using Commit are “highly likely” to recommend it to other coaches.

“This is an enormous step forward from anything else that’s available. It’s a game changer.” 

– Matt Kredich, Head Coach @ Tennessee 

What benefits do coaches see after using Commit day in and day out for years?

1. More Organized

  • “I’m definitely more organized”
  • “I am more organized and in control.”
  • “Practice is more organized. Easy to write workouts with the amount of time in practice”
  • “workouts run more smoothly”

2. Saves Time

  • “Having used TeamUnify in the past I like the simplicity of Commit, while still having powerful features”
  • “Saves time by calculating practice time and yardage easily”
  • “Commit offers the ability to prep and organize for practice which in turn allows me more time to interact with and coach my athletes.”
  • “It is user-friendly:-) and saves me a lot of time”
  • “Saves time!”
  • “Ability to log workouts has become a lot easier”
  • “Saves time by calculating practice time and yardage easily”

3. More Staff Synergy and Collaboration

  • ”It’s easy to write workouts and be able to have all our coaches access them.”
  • “Our staff is more organized and the seasons run more smoothly when they can not only see their season planned out but also track it daily.”
  • “Much easier to share workouts with other coaches, especially if you are off deck and have an assistant running the group.”
  • “With the whole coaching staff on commit really helps us streamline our workouts”
  • “Easier to share ideas”

4. Better Training Quality 

  • “It has been easier to address weaknesses in the training program”
  • “More organized, better practice structure and variety”
  • “My seasons have become much more analytical, in that I am better able to track yardages and efforts.”
  • “Better quality control of team programming & athlete development”
  • “Forces me to be more precise in my training plan.”

5. Faster Swimming

  • “The program broke 17 school records this season, and the top 4 most “talented” in the program amassed more than 40-lifetime bests between them so I believe commit allows me to see the big picture while writing a workout and make the workout challenging mentally, physically and also social.”
  • “It also has helped significantly with rest and taper by providing the stress score of the workouts. The stress score has definitely played a big role in our rest meets.”
  • “Workouts often don’t repeat, yardage is more consistent, tapers seems to work better.”
  • “More consistent performances across multiple seasons. The ability to reflect on and adjust sets over time.”

6. Increased Swimmer Engagement

The Commit software is very good. Coaches make pennies (relatively speaking) and a $20 monthly subscription is hard to justify honestly. This is especially true considering this is a work tool that is likely not to be supported by your employer.

I’ve been toying around with the idea of using it. But at the end of the day $20 could just be better used elsewhere in my program (I run a very minimalist program and cut every cost I consider non-essential and then give that back to the parents in the club by charging about 35-40% less per month in squad fees than any other club in our area), and what I do works for me.

But it looks like it would be a huge QoL improvement.

Hey there DOITFORDALE and M D E,

I’m really happy that you both like the software. But, I’m of course sad you aren’t using it!

You feel the monthly price at $19 is too high. I hear that. Some feel it’s too low (yeah I get emails from coaches asking me to raise prices…). The bottom line is that pricing is tough because I’d love for everyone who wants to use Commit to have access to it.
Swimming is a great sport and both of you sound like great people. So, two things:
1. Email me at [email protected] to talk about pricing. I’m listening and want to hear your thoughts.
2. There is a $149/… Read more »
