Swim Split Calculator by Pool School



How to Use the Swim Split Calculator


Using a swim split calculator can help you plan your pacing for a swim race. Follow these steps to effectively use the calculator:


Step 1: Enter Your Race Distance

Input the total distance of your swim race. This could be in meters or yards, depending on the format of your race.


Step 2: Enter Your Desired Split Distance

Specify the distance for which you want to calculate splits. This could be a certain number of meters or yards that you plan to swim at a time, such as every 50m or 100m.


Step 3: Analyze the Results

The calculator will provide you with the split times based on your inputs. Review these splits to understand how you should pace yourself throughout the race.


Step 4: Adjust as Necessary

If the splits seem too fast or too slow, you can adjust your desired pace or split distance and recalculate to find a more suitable plan.


Step 5: Practice Your Splits

Incorporate your planned splits into your training sessions to get comfortable with pacing before the actual race.



Tips for Effective Use

  • Use a watch or timer during training to track your splits accurately.

  • Consider factors like fatigue and water conditions when planning your splits.

  • Stay flexible; adjust your splits during the race if necessary based on how you feel.
