About Us

Swim Time Converter is a lightweight, accurate-by-design tool for comparing swim performances across pool types. It grew from a simple need: swimmers and coaches wanted transparent conversions that reflect how starts, turns, and underwaters influence times—without bloated interfaces or guessy black boxes.

What makes it different

• Event-aware conversions: match common equivalents like 500y ↔ 400m and 1650y ↔ 1500m automatically.
• Advanced turn model: tune per-wall advantages for SCY, SCM, and LCM to reflect your underwater and turn skills.
• Clear inputs and outputs: choose decimal precision, enter flexible time formats, and copy results with one click.
• Pace insights: see pace per 100y / 100m alongside the converted result for quick training context.

How our model thinks (simple version)

1. Parse the source event and time to determine distance and course.
2. Estimate how many walls (start + turns) you used based on pool length and distance.
3. Subtract a per-wall advantage to estimate your free-water speed.
4. Project that speed to the target event and re-add the target course’s wall gains.

Because turn/underwater proficiency is personal, the sliders help you align the model to your strengths. Results remain estimates, not official conversions.

Roadmap

• Saved profiles for different swimmers (or strokes)
• Export results and pace tables (CSV/PDF)
• Deeper per-stroke tuning and guidance
• Dark mode and tighter mobile ergonomics
