Swimming pace calculator
Swim pace is quoted per 100 m or per 100 yards, and a 25 m pool gives faster splits than a 50 m one.

- Distance = 1500
- Time, minutes = 28
- Seconds = 0
- Pool length = 25
- Total time = 28*60 + 0 = 1680
- Pace per 100 m = 1500 > 0 ? 1680 / 1500 * 100 : 0 = 112
- Pace per 100 yards = 112 * 0.9144 = 102.413
- Speed = 1680 > 0 ? 1500 / 1680 : 0 = 0.892 857
- Pool lengths = 25 > 0 ? 1500 / 25 : 0 = 60
- Time per length = 60 > 0 ? 1680 / 60 : 0 = 28
- Speed in km/h = 0.892 857 * 3.6 = 3.214 29
Values are shown to six significant figures here; the arithmetic itself runs on exact fractions and is only rounded where a number is printed.

The formula
- pace per 100 m = time / distance x 100
- 100 yards = 91.44 m exactly
Short-course times are faster than long-course because every turn gives a push-off. The difference is a couple of seconds per 100 m.
