Find and organize workouts

Pick a view

1. Open Training → Workouts.

2. Use the List, Preview, and Week switch at the top. Commit remembers the view you picked on the web. The Commit app remembers its own.

   • List sorts workouts into sections. Today comes first, then the rest of this month and the months ahead (Later in October, November). Then Yesterday, Earlier in October, and one section for each month before that (September, August). A month from another year shows the year, like December 2025. The section name stays at the top as you scroll.
   • Preview splits the screen: a short list on the left and the workout you click on the right. Open editor opens it. For a workout you can’t edit, the button says Open workout. Preview needs a wide window; in a narrow one you get List.
   • Week lays out one week as a board. See Plan a week below.

   

Find a workout

1. Type in the search box. It finds:

   • a set like 10x100, or a word from the workout’s name
   • a training group or subgroup name, like Gold or Sprint (no # needed)
   • a date, like oct, oct 14, 10/14, or 2025

   Mix them: “gold oct 24” puts Gold’s October 24 workouts at the top, this year’s first. A tag with # (#Sprint) shows only that subgroup’s workouts.

2. Results show the best matches first. A word in the workout’s name counts for more than the same word in its sets. A search for 400 doesn’t bring up workouts that only have 100s or 200s, and a small typo in a longer word still finds it. Matches are highlighted, and each row shows the month and day (plus the year, if it isn’t this year).

   

3. Narrow it down with the filters beside the search:

   • The date filter (Any date) has Today, Upcoming, This week, Last 30 days, and Past, or pick From and To dates and click Apply dates.
   • My groups picks training groups. Use All groups to see every group’s workouts.
   • Any coach filters by who wrote the workout. Written by me shows only yours.
   • Reset clears the search and all filters.

4. The left column has shortcuts: All workouts, Today, Upcoming, and Written by me.

5. Workouts from archived training groups are under Archived groups at the bottom of the left column. Back to active groups returns to the list.

Select workouts and act on them

1. Tick a workout’s checkbox. Shift-click another checkbox to select everything in between. The checkbox at the top of the list selects all the workouts shown.
2. A bar appears at the bottom with Print, Email, Add to folder, and a ⋯ menu with Duplicate (one workout only), Remove from this folder (inside a folder), and Delete.
3. Press Esc, or click the × in the bar, to clear the selection. Changing the search, a filter, or the folder clears it too.

For one workout, hover its row instead: Print, Duplicate, and ⋯ show up on the right. The ⋯ menu has Email, Add to folder, Remove from this folder (inside a folder), and Delete.

File workouts in folders

1. Click + next to Folders in the left column, type a name, and press Enter. Names can be up to 26 characters. Your folders are your own; other coaches don’t see them.

2. Select workouts and click Add to folder in the bar (or, for one workout, ⋯ → Add to folder on its row). Tick the folders you want and click Apply. A dash means some of the selected workouts are already in that folder (“2 of 3”).

3. To make a new folder on the spot, type its name in Find or create a folder, for example “Taper”, and choose Create “Taper” and add 3 workouts.

4. A message confirms the change with an Undo button.

5. Click a folder in the left column to open it. The number beside it is how many workouts it holds. Inside a folder, ⋯ → Remove from this folder takes workouts out without deleting them.

6. Hover a folder and click ⋯ to Rename or Archive it. Archiving shows an Undo button too. Archived folders move to Archived folders at the bottom of the list, where ⋯ offers Restore or Delete folder. Deleting a folder asks first and is permanent; its workouts stay in your list.

7. With two or more folders, the sort button next to Folders picks the order: Name A–Z, Newest first, or Most workouts. Commit remembers your choice on this computer. New folders start at the top, and a folder stays in place when you rename it.

   

8. With more than 8 folders, a Filter folders box appears above them. Type part of a name to find a folder fast.

Delete workouts

1. Select the workouts and choose ⋯ → Delete.
2. Commit asks first. Any workouts you can’t delete, such as ones in groups you don’t coach, stay, and the dialog says how many.
3. Click Delete. Athletes and coaches lose access right away.

There’s no undo for deleting a workout.

Plan a week

1. Switch to Week. The folders and shortcuts on the left are hidden here, so the board gets the whole width.
2. Pick a layout. By group gives each training group a row and each day a column, with today highlighted. By time puts every workout in one row of days, in time order, with the group on each card. Commit remembers your choice.
3. Use the arrows to move a week back or forward. Click the dates between them to jump back to this week.
4. In By group, hover an empty day in a group you coach and click Write. New workout opens with that group, that day, and the group’s usual start time filled in. See Write a workout.
5. Hover a card to see its checkbox in the top corner, so the bar at the bottom works here too.

Week view shows up to 100 workouts. If a week has more, narrow the groups.

Print or email workouts

1. Choose Print or Email from the bar, a row, or Preview. Print and Send to in the workout editor open the same dialog. Switch between Print / PDF and Email at the top.
2. Pick a Format. As written prints exactly as it looks in the editor. Detailed split shows set-by-set yardage and time for each subgroup, and keeps your formatting too: bold, colors, sizes, and links. More than one workout always prints as a detailed split.
3. For a detailed split, choose whether the Running clock Starts at 0:00 or Starts at workout time.
4. Tick Include notes or Include attendance if you want them.
5. Drag Text size to make the print bigger or smaller. The sample line shows the size.
6. Download PDF opens the PDF in a new tab.

To email it, type a coach’s name in To and pick them, or type any email address and press Enter. Add a Message (optional) and click Send. Commit emails the PDF with your message.

Reuse and share a workout

1. Duplicate opens New workout with the workout copied in, titled Duplicate workout. Pick the group, date, and time. Copy notes too brings the notes along, and the folder checkbox keeps it in the same folders. Attendance starts fresh on the copy. If the new group’s stroke and intensity words differ, the parse can shift; Copy settings on the group fixes that.
2. Share in the workout editor makes a public link, with one-click posts to SwimSwam and social media.
3. Show to swimmers on the editor’s ⋮ menu unlocks a future workout so athletes can see it in their app; Hide from swimmers locks it again. Your default for new workouts is Workouts locked by default in your personal preferences.
