Swimming Pace Calculator

This calculator works out your swimming pace per hundred metres and your speed from the distance and time you swam, the standard way swimmers measure and plan their efforts in New Zealand pools and open water. In swimming, pace is almost always expressed as the time to cover one hundred metres, because pools are measured in metres and sets are built around that unit, so knowing your hundred-metre pace lets you set target times for intervals, judge whether you are swimming evenly across a session, and watch your fitness improve over the weeks. The calculation is simple: divide your total swim time by the distance and multiply by a hundred to get the time per hundred metres, and divide distance by time for your speed in metres per second. You enter the distance you swam in metres and the time it took in minutes and seconds, and the calculator returns your pace per hundred metres and your speed. Use it after a time trial to find your current pace, to set the target pace for a training set, or to check your pace across a longer open-water swim. A two minute per hundred metre pace is a common steady training pace, with faster swimmers well under that. Adjust the inputs to model different efforts. A simple pace tool for your swimming.

Pace per 100 metres is the standard swimming measure. Measure consistently to track improvement. A pace tool for your swimming.
