When to use it

Calculate swim time from a known pace

Pace × distance

The calculator converts your pace into the number of required pace segments, then multiplies them to produce a total time.

total time = pace time × target distance ÷ pace distance

Calculator or converter?

Use this calculator when the course stays the same and you know your pace. Use the swim time converter when changing between SCY, SCM, and LCM.
