how do you calculate swimming ??

Various devices allow you to track distance covered while swimming.

2 notable ones are:

1. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209393
2. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/665374

Short of using a device, which can be expensive, you can guesstimate the distance you covered and do a manual entry on your calendar.

I have been converting effort into walking miles, based on time, so my easiest swimming is like walking my dogs, one mile in 15 minutes. However, it is certainly possible that 15 minutes of vigorous swimming should equal 2 miles of running!

I was in a USA Triathlon 3 month challenge. They used the following conversation to level out the miles:
- 1 mile biked = 1 mile
- 1 mile running = 3 miles
- 1 mile swimming = 10 miles

Hope this helps. (Wish there were more options in this challenge than just “other”.)

Thank you! As a first time member of this group having some conversion criteria is super helpful.

1.2 miles is equal to 2100 yards and 2.4 miles is equal to 4300 yards. For longer or shorter distance, just do the math.
