Automated billing

Direct Debit via GoCardless means fees collect themselves. The Treasurer sees who has paid, who hasn't, and what failed, all without opening a spreadsheet.

  • One-click Direct Debit setup
  • Automatic retry on failed payments
  • Clear payment status dashboard
Swimly attendance register on an iPhone at poolside

Works poolside on your phone

Coaches take attendance on their phone at 6am. Parents check balances in the car park. Committee members approve things on the train. Swimly is designed for real life, not just office desks.

No app download needed

Works in any mobile browser. Add to home screen for an app-like experience.

Offline-friendly attendance

Mark attendance even with patchy poolside WiFi. Syncs when reconnected.

Why choose Swimly over GoMotion?

Four reasons clubs are making the switch.

Built for UK volunteer-run clubs

GoMotion serves 5,000+ organisations globally across all sports. Swimly is designed specifically for the needs and budgets of UK volunteer-run swimming clubs, with features that matter to you.

Simple, transparent pricing

No "contact us for a quote" or hidden enterprise pricing. See exactly what you'll pay from day one, with no transaction fees on standard plans.

Get started in 30 minutes, not weeks

GoMotion's enterprise setup process can take weeks with dedicated onboarding teams. Swimly is designed for busy volunteers who need to get up and running quickly without complex training.

No unnecessary enterprise complexity

You don't need a global platform built for professional sports organisations. Swimly gives you exactly what a UK swim club needs without overwhelming you with features you'll never use.
