COACHES - It is important to track your workouts if you want to improve in the pool. In an effort to provide Middle Atlantic Swimming (MAS) coaches with the best tools available, MAS has evaluated multiple workout logging platforms and concluded that Commit Swimming is the most comprehensive, practical, and cost-effective solution for its coaches and athletes. Commit has quickly become the standard for writing workouts at all levels of the sport. Once you log a workout with Commit, you’ll never want to go back to paper and pencil, Word, Excel, or anything else. Developed by former Middle Atlantic swimmers, Commit is now helping thousands of coaches and swimmers around the world keep track of their training. All you have to do is type your workout like you would in a Word document, and Commit's algorithm takes care of the rest. Try it out for free at commitswimming.com!
