Built for Australian swimming clubs
The operating system for
Australian swimming clubs
Membership, billing, attendance and safeguarding in one calm, modern platform. Built by swim parents who got tired of the spreadsheet chaos.
Free for clubs under 50 members. No card required to start.
The problem
You did not sign up for a second job
But that is what running a club feels like when the tools fight you. Every volunteer committee knows the pattern.
- 01
Five spreadsheets, and none of them agree
Members in one, payments in another, attendance on paper. Nobody knows which version is current.
- 02
Evenings lost to chasing fees
Payments slip through quietly. The Treasurer ends up sending awkward reminders at ten o'clock at night.
- 03
Safeguarding records nobody can reach
Compliance you cannot evidence quickly is compliance you cannot evidence at all.
- 04
Handover means starting again
When the Membership Secretary steps down, the club's knowledge walks out of the door with them.
The spreadsheet era
- Membership records scattered across spreadsheets
- Chasing parents for fees every month over messaging apps
- Registers printed, filled in by hand, then lost
- Safeguarding files in a folder nobody can access
With Swimly
- Every member, payment and session in one place
- Fees collected automatically, failures retried on their own
- Live registers on the phone the coach already carries
- Compliance records with qualification expiry alerts
Why Swimly
Why Australian swimming clubs choose Swimly
Not a generic sports app adapted for swimming. Not US software with an Australian dollar option bolted on. Built for how community swimming clubs actually work, from automatic fee collection to safeguarding compliance.
Built for how Australian clubs work
Handle membership categories, registration requirements and renewal cycles that match the way community swimming clubs in Australia actually run. Import your member data and keep coach details in one system.
Safeguarding compliance as standard
Track Working with Children Checks, coaching accreditations and first aid certificates with automated expiry alerts. Generate compliance reports for your committee. No more spreadsheets tracking renewal dates.
Automatic fee collection
Collect monthly, quarterly or seasonal fees automatically by card or bank payment. No more chasing transfers, reconciling deposits or dealing with failed payments by hand.
Transparent flat-rate pricing
No per-member fees that increase as your club grows. Provisional pricing of A$55/month for 50 to 200 members and A$95/month for 200 to 500. Free for clubs under 50. Pricing you can predict, not bills that escalate.
Privacy built in
Full control over your members' data, with subject access handling, data portability and the right to erasure built in. Your club stays in charge of its own records.
Built by people who run clubs
Swimly was created by swim parents and committee members who have sat through the same frustrating meetings. We understand volunteer capacity, committee handovers and evening-and-weekend reality.
Where the hours come back
Less admin. More swimming.
Membership Secretary
Parents keep their own details current in the portal. Welcome emails and renewal reminders send themselves.
Treasurer
Fees arrive on schedule, failed payments retry on their own, and the AGM report generates in one click.
Head Coach
Attendance taken poolside in seconds, even at six in the morning with wet hands and bad lighting.
Honest comparisons
How does Swimly compare?
We have written fair, factual assessments of the platforms Australian clubs ask us about, including where they do things well.
Switching is easier than you think
From spreadsheet to software in about two weeks
Our founding club programme includes hands-on migration. We do the heavy lifting so you do not have to.
Get in touch
Tell us about your club, how many members you have and what you currently use. No hard sell, just a conversation about whether Swimly fits.
We migrate your data
Send us your spreadsheets or exports. We import members, set up squads, configure billing schedules and build your session timetable. You review it, we adjust.
Your committee logs in
We walk your Treasurer, Membership Secretary and coaches through the platform. Each person sees exactly the features their role needs.
You're live
Payments collect automatically. Coaches take digital attendance. Parents self-serve. We stay on hand through the first month to fine-tune anything.
Founding clubs get their first months free plus priority migration support. We are limiting the early programme so we can deliver exceptional onboarding. No contract, no payment details required to start.
Built for your needs
Whatever kind of club you run

Built to sit beside Swimming Australia, not replace it
Swimming Australia is the national governing body for the sport, and clubs affiliated through it register members in Swim Central, the official membership platform. Swimly does not replace that.
Instead, Swimly handles the day-to-day running of your club: collecting fees, taking attendance, organising squads and keeping safeguarding records in order. You keep using Swim Central for registration and use Swimly for everything else.
