What is "Parent Feature Controls"?

Clubs can now toggle on and off what features they want their members to have access to. Most options are around swimmer training analytics and team performance data.

Why did we build this feature?

Every club operates differently, both in how they function internally and how they use Commit's software. Allowing coaches to customize the parent portal of their members makes perfect sense and is something teams have been asking us for.

How do you use this feature in Commit?

1. Navigate to your team settings and under "parent controls" - toggle the features you want to "hide" from the parent portal

2. When parents log in, they will see a customized version of their swimmers' profiles

Additional Changes in Commit Swimming Recently

1. Fix white space validation bug with custom fields during registration
2. Fix heat/ lane bug for meet entries on finals only meets
3. Fix visual header bug on parent accounts when viewing swimmer profile
4. Fix birthday issue on registration related to white space bug
5. Save user’s last filter state on notifications for dashboard

What’s New with Registration Caps

1. Set a Cap per Group

Coaches and admins can now set a registration limit for each live program group. Once the cap is reached, no additional registrations will be allowed—keeping rosters organized and balanced.

2. Parents See When Groups Are Full

Parents can still view capped groups, but they’ll see clearly that registration is closed. This eliminates confusion while maintaining transparency.

3. Real-Time Registration Numbers

Parents can also see how many swimmers are registered relative to the cap. This visibility makes it easy for families to plan and helps build urgency for popular groups.

4. Editable at Any Time

Need to adjust capacity? Coaches and admins can edit group caps at any point, whether that means opening extra spots or tightening limits.

Why It Matters

Group management can be stressful during registration periods, but these new tools simplify the process:

  • No more overfilled groups
  • Clear communication with parents
  • Flexible control for coaches and admins

What is the universal add button?

It's pretty simple - this new button allows you to create "things" from any screen.

Why did we build this feature?

We are always looking for ways to improve the Commit Swimming product. As we've grown in our feature-set, it became clear that users would benefit from a button like this to create a variety of different things within Commit from any screen. It speeds up coach and team admin workflows.

What is the workout view redesign?

It's pretty simple - our workout writing feature now looks more beautiful :) (in our opinion of course).

Why did we build this feature?

We are redesigning every feature inside Commit 1 by 1. We had a few changes we wanted to make to some workout writing features that we made alongside this redesign. We added the ability to have attachments on workout notes, mark swimmers "excused" on attendance, search for favorite sets, and more!

What is workouts full-text search?

Commit has always had a way for coaches to filter workouts and search them by name. However, now we added full-text search to your workouts history. This means you can search through past workouts you wrote using any words you think are in the workout you're looking for. You also can search for subgroup specific workouts using our "#" search feature.

Why did we build this feature?

As coaches have been using Commit now for a decade, there is more of a need now than ever to allow users to search through their own workout history in a fluid way. This new search feature combined with filtering workouts down by date, group, or coach creator, allows coaches to find what they need quickly.

Make the switch to Commit today

You work too hard to be stuck with outdated, clunky swim team management software. Switching does take time and effort but we do the heavy lifting for you. Our onboarding team helps you bring over your roster, family contact information, results history, and website content to Commit.
