How to Calculate Swimming Pace
What is Swimming Pace?
A swimming pace calculator converts lap times into pace per 100m or per mile, and calculates split times for different race distances (50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m).
Step-by-Step Guide
- 1Pace per 100m = Lap time in seconds × (100 / pool length)
- 2For a 50m pool: 1 lap = 100m; for 25m pool: 2 laps = 100m
- 3Total race time = Distance / 100 × pace per 100m
