Ghost clock, pace calculator and Set check

View: turn writing aids on and off

1. Click View at the top of the workout. The pill next to it shows how many aids are on, like 4 on, or Plain when they’re all off.

2. Under Writing aids, switch each one on or off:

   • Ghost clock: group start times beside every set.
   • Set check: pick On, Quiet or Off (see Set check modes below).
   • Pace on sets: the send-off per 100 after each set.
   • Set grouping: brackets rounds and draws lines between sets.

3. Turn all off switches everything off at once. When they’re all off, it reads Turn all on.

   

Pace on sets, Set check and Set grouping work in the formatted editor only, so a plain-text workout’s View menu has only Ghost clock.

Set grouping: see how your sets group

With Set grouping on, a thin line separates each set from the next. Lines indented under a set get a bracket down their left side, so you can see what belongs together. The bracket turns blue when Commit reads that part as rounds (like 3 rounds or x3 with sets under it). If a bracket doesn’t cover what you meant, check your indents. Set grouping is only on your screen and never changes the workout.

Ghost clock: see when each subgroup starts

1. Open the workout from Training → Workouts. The ghost clock is the column to the right of the editor, with one lane per subgroup on the workout. When the names don’t fit, the lanes show initials (Ba, Br, D). Hover one for the full name. With many subgroups, click the arrow at the top of the column, or scroll sideways, to see the rest.
2. Each row lines up with a set. A dot marks each subgroup that swims it, next to the time that subgroup starts. When every subgroup starts a set together, you see one time and ALL.
3. Where subgroups come back together after a split, a chip shows how close they are: In sync (within a minute), 2 min off (up to 3 minutes apart) or 5 min gap (more than that). Hover the chip for each subgroup’s start time and who waits for whom.
4. The bottom row shows when each subgroup finishes. If the workout has an end time, it also shows Ends with that time and, under each subgroup, on time, +N min or N min early. With two or more subgroups these shorten to +Nm and −Nm. Hover the row for the full wording.
5. Click a subgroup’s name at the top of the column to highlight its sets in the editor. Click it again to clear. Hover any row to highlight that set and preview its stats in the bar under the editor.
6. Clock at the top of the column shows times of day. Click it to switch to Elapsed (time from the start, like 25m or 1h05), and click again to switch back.

Times come from the send-offs Commit reads. A set without one uses the workout’s default 100 interval. In a narrow window the column shrinks to dots (hover for the times), then tucks away behind a clock icon until there’s room. To hide it, click View and turn off Ghost clock. Writing a split practice?

Full screen: nothing on screen but the workout

1. Click Full screen at the top of the workout. The button shows the shortcut: ⌘⇧Enter on a Mac, Ctrl+Shift+Enter on Windows.

2. The workout takes over your whole screen. The bar across the top has Exit, the date and training group with the workout’s name, time and subgroups under it, View, and the ⋮ menu.

   

3. The dock on the right opens Stats, Attendance, Notes, Test set, Favorites, and Season plan in one card beside the editor. One opens at a time: click another to switch, or click the same one again to close it. Coach AI (when your team has it) opens on the left.

   

4. Press Esc, click Exit, or press the shortcut again to go back. Leaving your browser’s full screen leaves it too. Anything you typed stays put. The workout opens in the normal view next time.

Pace calculator: work out send-offs

1. Click the stopwatch in the editor toolbar (Pace Calculator).
2. Type a distance and a time. 2:10, 210, :32.5 and 90 all work. For a time without a colon, Commit shows how it reads it (210 shows Reading as 2:10).
3. The list shows the same pace for each distance from 25 to 500. Exact shows hundredths. Send-off :05 rounds to the nearest 5 seconds.
4. Click a time to add it to the workout at your cursor. Times go in as whole seconds, because Commit reads send-offs to the second.
5. Click the X or press Esc to close it. It remembers your last distance, time and rounding on this computer.

In the formatted editor, each set line with a send-off (6 x 150 @ 2:15, on the 3:00) gets a pace chip at the end with its send-off per 100, like 1:30 /100.

• Click a chip to open the calculator filled in with that set.
• To hide the chips, turn off Pace on sets in View, or Show pace on sets in the calculator. The choice follows your account.
• Chips are only on your screen. They’re never saved into the workout.
• A line with two send-offs gets no chip, because Commit only reads the first one.

Set check: catch sets Commit misreads

1. A set Commit reads differently from how it’s written gets a dot to its left and a dotted underline. An amber dot comes with a one-click fix. A grey ring is an explanation only. The set your cursor is in shows no mark. While you type, marks from your line down hide and come back a moment after you stop.

2. Click a mark to open its card. It explains the problem and shows Commit reads now next to After the fix: the distance, the time, and which subgroups swim it.

   

3. Click the fix button (for example Fix the tag or Line it up). The line changes and keeps your bold and colors, and a message shows the new reading with Undo. Undo takes back only that fix, and it goes away once you change anything else.

4. Not a mistake? Leave it (or Got it on an explanation) clears that mark in this workout on this computer. Stop flagging … (like Stop flagging group tags) turns that check off for you in every workout. Both show a message with Undo.

5. Set check under the editor shows how many sets are flagged. Click it for the panel: every flagged set (click one to open its card), Fix N sets to apply all the fixes at once, and the mode. Checks you’ve stopped are listed under Not flagging. Click one to flag it again.

   

6. With your cursor in a flagged set, click Why isn’t this reading right? next to Set check to open that set’s card.

7. Press Esc to close a card or the panel.

Set check never changes your text until you click a fix.

Set check modes

Pick a mode in View, or in the Set check panel. It’s saved to your account.

• On (the default) marks sets, and opens a card by itself when you finish a set whose fix would change it by 100 or more yards (or meters) or 2 or more minutes for a subgroup, or change which subgroups swim it. That happens at most once each time you open a workout, and three times a day. An explanation never opens by itself, and the card closes when you move your cursor.
• Quiet marks sets and never opens a card on its own.
• Off shows nothing. Turn it back on under View → Set check.
