Swimming Pace Calculator

Enter your swim distance and total time to calculate your average pace per 100 meters. This can help you set realistic goals and track your progress!

A Swimming Pace Calculator helps swimmers determine their average time per 100 meters based on the total swim time and distance. This is useful for tracking progress, setting training goals, and optimizing race strategies.

Simply enter the total distance you swam (in meters) and your total time in hh:mm:ss format. Click “Calculate Pace,” and the calculator will display your average time per 100 meters.

Swimming pace is commonly measured per 100 meters because most pools are either 25m or 50m in length, making 100 meters a useful benchmark for gauging endurance and speed.

Enter your total swim time in hh:mm:ss format.

For example:

  • 30 minutes should be entered as 00:30:00 1 hour and 15 minutes should be entered as 01:15:00
  • The calculator does not use AM/PM format.

Try converting your total time to this format.

For example:

  • 45 minutes = 00:45:00
  • 20 minutes and 30 seconds = 00:20:30

Your result is shown as minutes and seconds per 100 meters.

For example:

  • A pace of 1m 45s per 100m means you complete 100 meters in 1 minute and 45 seconds on average.

Yes! The calculator works for any swim distance, whether you’re swimming 50 meters, 400 meters, 1500 meters, or more.

Many factors can affect swim pace, including stroke efficiency, fatigue, and training conditions. Consider tracking your pace over multiple swims to get a more accurate measure of your performance.

To swim faster, focus on:

  • Technique: Work on your stroke efficiency.
  • Endurance: Increase your training volume gradually.
  • Speed Work: Incorporate interval training.
  • Breathing: Optimize your breathing patterns. Strength Training: Improve your core and upper body strength.
