Calculation method and formula

Distance swum ÷ Counted strokes

Understand the inputs

Distance swum
Minimum 0.01. Use a measured value or your own assumption.
Distance unit
Choose the matching option; it determines the table value or calculation variant.
Counted strokes
Minimum 1. Whole number.

Assumptions and limitations

Compare only with equal pool length, stroke and counting method. Individual arm strokes differ from full cycles. Lower SWOLF alone does not prove better technique.

The formula uses the specified units. Displayed numbers are rounded; whole packs, item counts and full time periods may also be rounded within the calculation.
