Many teams chose SwimTopia years ago because it offered a strong all-in-one solution for summer and recreational clubs. But expectations have changed.
Coaches now want tools built for year-round, high-performance programs, not just basic admin systems. Parents expect polished websites and seamless payments, and admins need software that keeps everything running smoothly.
Commit Swimming is built for today’s competitive club environment. It’s built for speed, built for coaching, and built for the full spectrum of club operations, not just summer team basics.

No recurring billing for year-round clubs (only one-off registration payments)

“Commit has been the most responsive platform I have used. The interface is intuitive, updates are easy to understand, and when something is not clear, they walk me through it. It is also the only platform that has truly felt automated and has actually reduced my workload. Commit listens, responds, and follows through.”

"Commit has been quite possibly the most important tool we have ever added to our swim program. It was a game changer for us to the point where I cannot imagine our program without it. It creates positive communication among the swimmers and coaches within our program, our swimmers are more prepared for practices, and Commit allows them to contribute more to their training. We are able to do so much more as a program because of Commit!"

"My experience with Commit has been excellent overall. The platform allows our coaching staff to easily access and share each other’s sets, which has become an invaluable tool for collaboration. It’s helped us build off one another’s work and ensure our swimmers are well-prepared for every stage of their competitive development.
Thank you, Calvin, and the Commit team, for your continued support and dedication"

"I just wanted to share that I have already received great feedback about our switch over to your system. Parents find the new website much easier to navigate, and the back end parent management is much more user friendly. And you definitely cannot go wrong with the practice software!"
