Swim Terminology

Length

: One trip down the pool.

Interval

: One or more consecutive lengths. A new interval starts 

after a rest.

Stroke

: A stroke is counted every time your arm wearing the 

device completes a full cycle.

Swolf

: Your swolf score is the sum of the time for one pool 

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.
