Platform comparison
Swimly vs TeamUnify
TeamUnify, now part of SportsEngine Motion under NBC Sports Next, is a long-established, all-in-one platform used by thousands of swimming organisations. It is powerful and broad. Swimly takes a more focused approach, built for volunteer-run Canadian clubs that want modern, everyday administration with transparent pricing.

Two different fits
Most swim clubs in Canada are volunteer-run organisations where a parent juggles membership admin between the school run and work. They want software that is quick to learn and predictable to budget for.
TeamUnify is a comprehensive platform with a deep feature set and strong meet management, used by organisations of all sizes worldwide. Swimly is a newer, focused alternative that concentrates on everyday club administration, priced in Canadian dollars, without a broad enterprise toolset to learn around.

Where Swimly fits best
Four reasons a volunteer-run Canadian club might choose Swimly.
No enterprise overhead
A 120-member club does not need a broad enterprise platform or a deep configuration process. Swimly is quick to set up and focused on what a volunteer committee uses week to week.
Transparent CAD pricing
Swimly publishes flat monthly pricing in Canadian dollars with a free plan for small clubs. You can see the cost before you talk to anyone.
Mobile-first, poolside
Coaches take attendance on the phone they already carry, with no separate app to install. The portal is designed for real life, not just office desks.
Modern and quick to improve
Swimly is built on a modern stack and iterates regularly based on what clubs tell us they need. We stay focused on everyday club administration.
When TeamUnify may be the better choice
We believe in being honest. TeamUnify may suit your club better if:
- • You need advanced meet entry and management now, as Swimly's competition features are still being built.
- • You are a large organisation that wants a single, broad enterprise platform with extensive configuration.
- • You want a long-established vendor with a large worldwide install base across many sports.
