Swimming highlight reel FAQ

How do I make a swimming highlight reel?

Upload your raw game footage to NextPlay. Our AI watches every play, scores them across visual impact + audio + game context, picks the best moments, and assembles a cinematic highlight reel with music, captions, and color grading — usually in under 5 minutes per clip.

What length should a swimming recruiting reel be?

Most college coaches want 60–90 seconds for first contact. NextPlay generates a 15-second social cut, a 60-second recruiting cut, and a 90-second deep-dive cut from the same source video — pick the right one for the right audience without re-editing.

Does NextPlay work for youth swimming?

Yes — NextPlay is built for athletes 13+. Youth mode skips recruiting features and focuses on parent + family sharing with music-first cinematic reels. No watermark on Free or paid plans.

Is NextPlay cheaper than hiring a swimming highlight editor?

Yes — significantly. Custom swimming highlight editing runs $149–$1,099 per reel. NextPlay's Athlete plan is $9.99/month for unlimited reels, and the Free plan covers 5 uploads/month — enough to make a full recruiting highlight without paying anything.
