One login, many hats: switching roles and teams

Parents · Account & Login How one Commit account handles being a coach and a parent, kids on different teams, or coaching multiple clubs.

How roles work

Your team connects your email to what you are there: a coach/admin on the staff, a parent with swimmers, or an athlete. The same login can be all three: a coach whose kids swim on the team, a parent with swimmers at two clubs, a masters swimmer who also coaches. Commit shows one app at a time; the switcher moves you between them.

Step by step

  1. To change roles, click your name/avatar at the top of the left menu and pick the role, like Coach to run the team or Parent to commit your own kids to a meet. The app reloads into that view.
  2. To change teams, click the team name just below and pick from your Teams list (a search box appears when you have several).
  3. Commit remembers where you were; next login returns you to your last role and team.

Common questions

I’m a coach and a parent but only see the coach app. Your parent side isn’t linked. Have an admin add you as a parent on your swimmers (People → swimmer → Manage → Add Parent) using the same email, and the role appears in your switcher.

My kids are on two different clubs. Both teams appear in the switcher as long as each club linked the same email. If a club used a different address, ask them to move you to the one you actually use.

A team disappeared from my list. That usually means your swimmers were archived there (end of season, or you moved on). Open the team dropdown and click View old teams: teams you swam for offer Re-join team, and teams your swimmers were on let you pick the swimmers and Re-join. Old coaching roles need the team’s admin to re-add you.

I coach two teams under one club. Team switching works the same way — each team you’re on staff for is listed.

Why does my app look different from another parent’s? Roles change the app, and clubs also turn features on and off, so two families can see different menus.
