What is a good 100m swim pace for a triathlete?

Intermediate triathletes typically swim at 1:45–2:10 per 100m. For an Ironman swim (3.8 km), a 2:00/100m pace gives a swim split of approximately 1:16. Age-group podium finishers often swim at 1:25–1:40/100m.

How do I convert swim pace from yards to metres?

1 yard = 0.9144 metres. To convert a 100-yard pace to 100-metre pace, multiply by 1.0936. A 1:30/100 yard pace equals approximately 1:38/100m. Most competitive swim times are recorded in metres internationally.
