> The swim pace calculator gives your pace per 100 m or 100 yd from distance and time, and predicts your time for other distances at the same pace.

## Inputs

- Distance (m, yd)
- Time (min, s, h)
- Predict for distance (m, yd)

## Results

- Pace per 100 m
- Pace per 100 yd
- Time for prediction distance

## Formula

```
Pace per 100 = time ÷ distance × 100
```

## Explanation

Swimmers track pace per 100 metres or yards to set training sets and race goals.

### How to use the Swim Pace Calculator

- **Distance**
- **Time**
- **Predict for distance**
- Want to work backwards? Type a value into **Pace per 100 m** and **Time** is calculated for you.

Results update as you type, and every field accepts the units shown in its menu.

### How it works

Divide total time by distance and multiply by 100.

### Inputs explained

FieldWhat to enterDistanceUnits: m, ydTimeUnits: min, s, hPredict for distanceUnits: m, yd

### What each result means

- **Pace per 100 m** = [Time]÷[Distance]×100
- **Pace per 100 yd** = [Time]÷[Distance]×91.44
- **Time for prediction distance** = [Time]÷[Distance]×[Predict for distance]

## Worked example

Inputs — Distance: 1,500 m; Time: 30 min; Predict for distance: 400 m.

Results — **Pace per 100 m = 2:00**; Pace per 100 yd = 1:50; Time for prediction distance = 8:00.

## FAQ

**Is pace constant across distances?**
Usually slower over longer swims; this assumes an even pace.

**What is a good 100 m pace?**
Fitness swimmers often swim 1:45–2:15 per 100 m.

**What formula does the Swim Pace Calculator use?**
Pace per 100 = time ÷ distance × 100.

**Can I work backwards from the result?**
Yes. Type the result you want into Pace per 100 m and the calculator finds the matching time.
