Calculation method and formula
Time for one pool length [Sek.] + Strokes for one pool length
Understand the inputs
- Time for one pool length
- Unit: Sek.. Minimum 0.1. Use a measured value or your own assumption.
- Strokes for one pool length
- 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.
