Platform comparison
Swimly vs TeamUnify
TeamUnify, part of SportsEngine, is a well-established platform with deep meet management and a comprehensive member CRM. That depth is genuinely useful for some clubs. Swimly takes a different approach: a calm, transparent platform for the everyday running of a volunteer club.

Why we are building Swimly
Most community swimming clubs are not enterprises. They are volunteer-run organisations where a parent juggles membership admin between the school run and work. A deep, feature-rich platform can be more than such a club needs.
We are developers who volunteer at our local swimming clubs. Swimly is the modern alternative for clubs that want published pricing, fast setup and a focus on the everyday admin that actually eats a committee's evenings. Where TeamUnify offers breadth, Swimly offers calm and clarity.

Why clubs choose Swimly
Four reasons volunteer-run clubs find Swimly a comfortable fit.
No overhead for volunteer clubs
A 120-member club does not need a deep, enterprise-grade system to take attendance and collect fees. Swimly keeps the everyday tasks simple and fast.
Transparent pricing in AUD
Our prices are published in Australian dollars: free under 50 members, with provisional A$55 and A$95 tiers above that. No quote process to start.
Mobile-first, works poolside
Coaches take attendance on their phone at the side of the pool. No app download needed, and it keeps working when the pool WiFi does not.
We ship quickly and listen
Swimly is built on a modern stack by a small team that iterates fast based on what clubs tell us they actually need.
When TeamUnify might be the better fit
We believe in being honest. TeamUnify may be the better choice if:
- • You need advanced meet management right now, as Swimly's meet entry tools are still in development
- • Your club wants a deep, comprehensive CRM and has the administrative capacity to run it
- • You value an established product with a long track record and a large existing user base
