Calculate relay timeEvery calculator shows the exact formula it uses. No black boxes — you can verify the maths on the formulas page.
All calculations run in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, no account is needed, and your inputs are never stored.
From beginners tracking their first 400 m to coaches planning threshold sets and triathletes pacing an Ironman swim.
Yes. Every calculator is completely free, with no login, no sign-up and no usage limits. All maths runs in your browser, so there are no API calls or server costs to pass on.
Yes. Every distance-based tool lets you switch between metres and yards, and the unit converter handles metres, yards, kilometres and miles.
CSS (Critical Swim Speed) is the fastest pace you can sustain without fatiguing quickly. It is calculated from two time trials — usually 200 m and 400 m — and gives you a reliable threshold pace for training sets. Use the CSS calculator to find yours.
Yes. The site is mobile-first and responsive. Every calculator works with touch inputs and adapts to any screen size from small phones to desktop monitors.
Yes — see the swimming formulas page for the full maths behind every calculator, including worked examples and the unit conversions used.
