 Coaches and swimmers are always looking for ways to test and measure how they
are going in training. Swim test sets are one method of analysing the progress
of swimming training and to gather vital information to ensure your training
program is helping you achieve your goals.
A test to determine each athlete's start time, start speed, clean swim time,
clean swim speed, turn time, turn speed, turn index, distance per cycle and
cycle rate. This is a simple testing procedure that yields a considerable amount
of useful data on swimming performance.
The SwimRating is a system to be able to compare different types of swimmers
objectively. It works by calculating back all a swimmer's personal best times to
50-meter times. So the PB on the 100 meters is divided by two, the 200 by four,
and so forth. Then all these times are accumulated, and this is the SwimRating.
