PACE© Swim Training Pricing
We host the online registration and payment for PACE© Swim Training on the Circle Community app. Once you know what type of training program is right for you, you’ll select a monthly payment subscription and provide a credit card for automatic payment. The sections below describe the plans, prices, how billing works, and how to change your membership plan.
What are the Membership Levels?
We have four different membership levels for PACE. The more expensive levels will include greater coaching, practicing tailoring, community support, and customization. We know that all swimmers don’t want the same thing from a training program, so we wanted to give you options.
PACE Community (FREE)
The PACE Community membership level is free and targeted toward those swimmers who are looking for access to information about swimming and for a place to connect with other swimmers to share tips and experiences. The Community Membership includes:
- Articles relevant to three different skills levels: Learn-to-Swim (newbies), Building Proficiency (intermediate), and Advanced Skills (advanced). Like a post or add a comment if the topic resonated with you or if you have a question about it
- The Did You Swim Today? space allows you to post about your swims — where you did it, what you did, what you learned and achieved, who you swam with, etc. You can also read about other members’ swims, pick up a tip, or cheer on their progress
- Announcements about new features of the PACE Swim Training community

How Do Billing, Cancellations, and Plan Changes Work?
When you sign up for the PACE© Swim Training program, we will charge you for the first month on the date of your registration. If you opted to do the 14-day free trial, you will be notified 3 days before the end of the period to provide a credit card if you’d like to continue. You will then be charged for the first month at the conclusion of the trial period.
Each month on the anniversary of your first charge, we will charge you for another month of membership. If you would like you cancel your membership or change your membership plan, you can do so on the Billing tab within your Circle Community membership profile. For help in doing so, you can review this article on “Managing Your Membership Subscriptions.”
