Calculate your swimming level, pace, and training zones
Each swimming stroke has different performance standards. Freestyle is typically the fastest, followed by backstroke, butterfly, and breaststroke.
Swimming pace is typically measured per 100 meters. This standardized measurement allows for easy comparison across different distances and strokes.
Swimming training zones help optimize your workouts for different energy systems and training adaptations, from aerobic base building to anaerobic power.
SWOLF (Swimming + Golf) combines time and stroke count to measure swimming efficiency. Lower scores indicate better technique and efficiency.
