Metrics 103: Pace Construction

by | 12 May, 2014

Can we assume that two swimmers who achieve the same Pace are equal in efficiency as well (in both terms of physics and of physiology)? No. Because the same Pace can be constructed by different combinations of SPL x Tempo, and each of those different combinations...

Metrics 103: Pace

by | 5 May, 2014

This is a simple math equation we use in swim training to measure performance (in terms of time) in a test or race: Pace = Strokes Per Length x Tempo By counting strokes (SPL) over a certain distance and multiplying that by the Tempo, we can calculate Pace. Or we can...

by | 20 Apr, 2014

When we consider the goal of continual swimming improvement what is or are our enemies to that goal? A body that doesn’t want to work hard? A mind that is afraid of pain? Boredom? A lack of talent? Not enough time? I suggest that these are the real Enemies Of...

Metrics 102: Fast Tempo

by | 8 Apr, 2014

Why swim at faster tempos? Here are three reasons (among more we might think of):   1. To Improve Speed In order for increased Tempo to result in increased Speed, the swimmer must maintain a certain amount of Stroke Length, or he will end up going slower while...
