Simplified model: these are the standard published statistics computed from the numbers you enter. They ignore park factors, opponent strength, playing conditions and league adjustments, so results are indicative only and not an official rating.

What does swim pace per 100 measure?+
It converts your total swim time and distance into a standardized pace, showing how long it takes to swim 100 meters or yards at that same average speed. This makes it easy to compare swims of different total distances on a common, familiar scale.
How is pace per 100 calculated?+
Pace per 100 is (total time / total distance) × 100. If you swim 500 meters in 8 minutes, your pace per 100 meters is (8 minutes / 500) × 100 = 1.6 minutes, or 1:36 per 100 meters.
Why do swimmers care about pace per 100 rather than just total time?+
Total time alone doesn't reveal much if you're comparing different distances, but pace per 100 puts every swim, whether it's 200 meters or 3,000 meters, on the same comparable footing. It's especially useful for planning negative splits or checking consistency across a long workout.
Does pace per 100 need to specify meters or yards?+
Yes, this matters significantly, since a 25-yard pool and a 25-meter pool are slightly different distances (a yard is shorter than a meter), and mixing up the units when comparing paces from different pools will produce a misleadingly favorable or unfavorable comparison.
How is swim pace per 100 different from pace calculations in running or cycling?+
The underlying math (time divided by distance, scaled to a standard unit) is the same concept used in running pace per mile or kilometer. Swimming just uses 100 meters or yards as its standard reference distance instead, reflecting how competitive swimming events and training sets are typically structured around round hundreds.
