This calculator helps swimmers determine their Critical Swim Speed (CSS), a valuable metric for training and performance analysis. Ideal for competitive and recreational swimmers aiming to optimize their swim training routines.
All calculations are based on established swimming performance metrics. For further details, please refer to the authoritative source at example.com.
CSS = \(\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}\)
For a 400m swim completed in 5:20 (five minutes and twenty seconds), the CSS is calculated as:
CSS = 400 / 320 = 1.25 m/s
CSS is a measure of the pace you can maintain over a long distance. It's often used to define training intensities.
The calculator provides an estimate based on input data. For precise results, ensure accurate distance and time measurements.
Yes, CSS can vary based on individual fitness levels and swimming techniques.
Knowing your CSS can help tailor your training regime for optimal improvements in endurance and speed.
CSS is primarily used for pool swimming but can also provide insights for open water training.
