常见问题
What is a good swim pace for beginners?
A pace of 2:30–3:00 per 100m is typical for recreational beginners. Competitive age-group swimmers aim for under 1:30 per 100m.
How do I improve my swim pace?
Consistent interval training, improving stroke technique, and increasing weekly yardage are the most effective ways to lower your pace per 100m.
Does pool length affect pace?
Yes. Turn-off time in a 25m pool can add about 1–3 seconds per 100m compared to a 50m (Olympic) pool due to more turns.
