Product documentation Pricing and plansWhere Swim Ops stands out
A connected club.
An open way to get things done.
Choose Swim Ops when you want community-club administration, member self-service and documented AI connections in one platform—with optional managed help for recurring work.
Your AI, working with your club
Connect a compatible AI client through MCP and OAuth. Review records, prepare work and use the permissions and approval steps documented for each operation.
Read the connection guideOperations you can inspect
See the public API reference and detailed feature guides before buying. Evaluate how work gets done, including roles, prerequisites and limits.
Explore the API referenceMembership through the whole season
Keep households, renewals, waitlists, refundable bonds, invoices and programs connected. Ask us to walk through your club’s actual exceptions.
Explore membership operationsHelp making the move
Guided migration and a 60-day private trial give you a chance to review the import and rehearse your club’s workflows before launch.
See the migration processMake the demo count
Bring five jobs.
Ask to see them done.
Use the same scenarios with every vendor. The useful comparison is how much work remains for you after each task is complete.
Handle a renewal exception
Find a household’s dues, membership status and bond history. Show a partial payment or late renewal and how it is resolved.
Run a full program
Fill a camp or lesson, move someone from a waitlist, then cancel a booking. Explain what happens to the place and the money.
Answer a member question
Find the relevant records, prepare a reply and explain what the assistant can change immediately versus what requires approval.
Connect your own tools
Show the API documentation, authentication, permissions and a supported AI connection. Ask how access is revoked.
Prove the switch is manageable
Review a sample import, explain unsupported data and agree who handles corrections, launch communications and ongoing support.
Which swim club software is the best fit?
Swim Ops is a strong fit for the administrator who wants connected membership, money and programs, documented access for external AI tools, and guided migration. If swim-meet timing, competition entries, point-of-sale hardware or a particular native mobile app is essential, verify those requirements separately. Swim Ops does not replace competition-management software.
For cost, compare software, setup, payment processing, messaging and the work your team still carries. See Swim Ops pricing and use the payment-fee calculator with your own payment mix.
