FAQ
Frequently asked
Is MakoSwim a good Commit Swimming alternative?
Yes, especially if you want race video, athlete wellness and an AI assistant connected to your workouts in one platform, rather than assembled from separate apps.
Does MakoSwim have a workout builder like Commit?
Yes. MakoSets is a natural-language workout builder that understands your team's own shorthand, assigns modified sets to individual swimmers, and supports live co-editing between coaches.
How does MakoSwim pricing compare to Commit Swimming?
MakoSwim's workouts-only plan starts at $29/month against Commit's $39 Solo plan. At $69/month, Commit's tier covers workouts and analytics, while MakoSwim's Solo Coach plan includes the full platform: race video, wellness, performance tracking and the AI assistant. EUR and GBP pricing is on the pricing page.
Does MakoSwim handle meet entries?
Yes, end to end: build the lineup event by event, check qualifying cuts and entry limits as you go, export Hy-Tek and LENEX entry files the host club can use, then import the results straight back into each swimmer’s history.
Does MakoSwim replace club billing or registration?
No, deliberately. MakoSwim is the coaching and performance layer. Keep your registration and billing platform; MakoSwim adds the training, video, wellness, analytics and meet entries on top.
Can MakoSwim do race video analysis?
Yes. Video analysis is built in, so race and technique footage connects to the rest of a swimmer's training and results.
