Swimming Yards Goal Calculator
The Swimming Yards Goal Calculator allows swimmers to enter their target time, choose the stroke and distance, and then hit the Calculate button. The calculator breaks the swim down into individual splits the swimmer should target for an accurate race.
How Was the Calculator Created?
Over 2,000 data points from the top 10 fastest race times in history for each event were analyzed. Every split in each swim is captured and converted into a percentage of total swim time. All the splits are then averaged across the 10 fastest times to create a formula that can be used to reverse engineer a future Goal Time or to review Race Results. The data is constantly tracked and updated weekly to ensure the formulas are current and accurate. This calculator is ideal for NCAA Division swimming.
