SWOLF is highly individual, and thus should not be compared to SWOLF scores other people have swam. It’s
rather a personal tool that can help you improve and fine-tune your technique, and find an optimal efficiency for
different styles.
CHOOSE POOL LENGTH
It’s important that you choose the correct pool length, as it affects pace, distance and stroke rate calculation,
as well as your SWOLF score. The default lengths are 25 meters, 50 meters and 25 yards, but you can also
set it manually to a custom length. The minimum length that can be chosen is 20 meters/yards.
The chosen pool length is shown in pre-training mode. To change it from there, press and hold LIGHT to
access the Sport Profile quick menu, choose Pool length and set the correct length. It can also be changed
in Settings > Sport Profiles > Pool swimming > Pool length.
