Step by step
Create a board
- Open Communication → Bulletin Boards and click Add board.
- Name it and pick who can see it: coaches, swimmers and parents, whole groups, or specific people.
Post to a board
- Open the board and click Add to board.
- Write a post (title plus text, with attachments) or upload a file such as a flyer or schedule PDF. Pin a post to keep it on top. Posts and replies keep formatting and tables you paste in, and you can paste or drop images right into the text.
- Families on your active roster who can see the board get an alert in their Inbox. Everyone with access can reply in the discussion under each post.
- Message on the board (or in the board card’s menu) opens a new message addressed to everyone who can see the board, handy for a reminder that a new post is up.
Commit Swimming - Team Boards live in the app’s Inbox tab under Boards (Bulletin Boards on a tablet). Families read, get notified, and reply from their phones. Coaches can post from the app too.
Common questions
Board or message? A message is one-time mail. A board sticks around, so it’s better for things people come back to: handbooks, snack sign-up flyers, weekly notes.
Who can make boards? Staff with the Communication permission. Each board’s audience is set when you create it and can be edited later.
A swimmer who changed groups still has the old board? No. Board access follows current training groups, so a swimmer who leaves a group loses that group’s board.
Do parents get notified of new posts? Yes, if their swimmer is on your active roster. New posts and replies show in their Inbox. Families on the inactive or archived roster don’t get these alerts.
