Swim Terminology

• A length is one trip down the pool.
• An interval in swimming is like a lap in

running. You can break your swim into

swim intervals and rest intervals.

• A stroke is counted every time your

arm wearing the Forerunner completes

a full cycle.

• Your swolf score is the sum of the

time for one length and the number of

strokes for that length. For example,

30 seconds plus 15 strokes equals

a swolf score of 45. Swolf is a

measurement of swimming efficiency

and, like golf, a lower score is better.

• Your swim efficiency index is the sum

of the time and the number of strokes

that it takes to swim 25 meters. This

allows you to compare your swim

efficiency to another pool or an open

water workout. A lower swim efficiency

index is better.
