Swim Pace Calculator

Pick your pool (SCY, SCM, or LCM), enter a distance or a time, and get pace per 100, lap splits, and interval send-offs. Built for pool swimming — not road running pace.

How the numbers are calculated

Swim pace is expressed as time per 100 of the pool’s unit (yards for SCY, meters for SCM/LCM). Given distance D and time T, pace per 100 is T × 100 ÷ D. Rearranged, time = pace × D ÷ 100 and distance = pace⁻¹ × T × 100.

A lap split is the time for one pool length at that pace: pace × poolLength ÷ 100. Interval send-off is lap (or interval) swim time plus the rest you enter — the clock when the next repeat starts.

This is pool arithmetic, not a GPS or running-pace tool. SCY uses yards; SCM and LCM use meters. Figures are exact for the inputs you give.

A note on these numbers. Calculations are exact for the inputs entered and assume an even pace. Everything runs in your browser; nothing you type is uploaded.
