Swimming Pace and Performance Tracking

Formula

Swimming pace per 100 meters is the standard metric for tracking swimming performance. It allows comparison across different distances and helps set training targets.

Pace varies significantly by stroke: freestyle is typically the fastest, followed by backstroke and breaststroke, with butterfly being the most demanding.

Common use cases:

  • Tracking swim training progress
  • Setting race pace targets
  • Comparing performance across distances
