Now that there are thousands of users who have been working with Commit Swimming for several years, we have heard lots of requests related to making “starting a new season” more intuitive in Commit. So… we did!
We did two things to solve this problem
1. Ability to archive Teams
2. Ability to archive Folders
In Commit, how you organize your teams, groups, and workouts is largely up to you. Two of the main ways coaching staffs use Commit to organize their seasons are with Teams and Folders. What we found was, it was frustrating to have last year’s workouts, swimmers, and folders all front and center inside your Commit account, when all you wanted to do was start fresh for the new season.
But – wait a minute! “I don’t want to delete everything! I just want it there but hidden in the background where I can get to it when I want to.”

Introducing Archiving
We decided the least invasive way to solve this problem for coaching staffs, was to introduce archiving. Now in Commit, you can archive both teams and folders. What this does, is put those teams, folders, and workouts all hidden from the main views of the app. But, the data is all still there. Using the search functionality in Commit, you can pull up practices from archived teams. You can also restore old folders or teams! So nothing is ever “gone”.
How it Works for Folders
1. View Folders
2. Click “edit” then “archive”
3. To restore, click “restore”
Okay – So how do I try it?

Here are 8 reasons you should start using Commit Swimming this season:
ONE
The new features! Did you really think that wasn’t going to be the first reason? After the latest updates, there are new options, giving you more power to customize your Commit experience. You will be blown away by the amount of time and headaches Commit saves you compared to alternatives.
TWO
Commit’s pricing is fair and transparent. They are different from “the other guys”, and it shows in their pricing. There are no setup fees, no hidden fees, no “lock-in” period, no contract, and there is no negotiating or haggling. Everyone pays the same, low price. It’s $8/ month or $90/ year per coach. There are even discounts for teams with 3+ coaches using Commit. You can view information about team pricing at commitswimming.com/pricing.
THREE
Commit’s service is second to none. When you email Commit Swimming, you’re speaking to a business owner, a software developer, a salesman, and a customer service rep all at the same time. There is no disconnect between what is promised to get done 
and what actually gets done. There is no “going up the chain”. Someone will hear your concern and give you a viable solution on the spot 100% of the time. Period.
FOUR
Commit Swimming is the only swimming software company that lets you sign up on the spot without speaking to a pushy salesman or pulling out your credit card. And, for a limited time, this stress-free sign-up process comes with a 14-day free trial. No credit card required. No gimmicks. Just a truly free trial. Sign up for your free trial today at commitswimming.com/coaches. It won’t be around forever.
FIVE
You’re used to the routine. A sales rep visits your pool to show you just the basics of the new swim software your club bought. Next, you spend months convincing everybody on staff to adopt the new technology. That is a problem. Software should simplify your life, not complicate it… from day one… for everybody. Commit is so easy to use that you won’t need anyone visiting you, you won’t need an hour-long webinar, and you’ll barely need to watch a 5-minute tutorial! Everyone on staff will be up and running within days.
SIX
You shouldn’t be restricted to a spreadsheet or one line input boxes when writing a set. Other workout management software forces you to follow a structured format that removes the character of your workout. No one wants to sit there and click buttons to change the reps, the distance, and the interval for each set. With Commit Swimming, all you have to do is type! It’s as easy as using a Word document, but it provides more data than traditional workout managers.
SEVEN
Do you want your swimmers to keep a log book? There is no need for them to write on a notepad anymore. With Commit’s mobile app, the athletes on your roster can review their workouts after they happen and take notes on each one. It’s a digital logbook that speaks their language.
EIGHT
It’s the perfect time to get more efficient and organized. There are always reasons not to make adjustments to your routine, but you don’t want to look back in 20 years and realize that now you’re “that coach stuck in his ways”.
Commit Swimming puts you, the coach, in control. Save more time writing workouts with Commit. Say goodbye to notebooks and clunky software.
