SWOLF does anyone have a good explanation for this?

SWOLF does anyone have a good explanation for this?

On my watch activity app in my iPhone after a pool free style swim I get a reading which reads "Avg. SWOLF"

I know its an indication of speed of swimming combined with stroke counting.

What is this EXACTLY. Is it calculated somehow? How?

Thanks

Apple Watch Ultra, watchOS 11

According to swimming sites such as this one:

SWOLF is calculated by by adding together your strokes per length, and the time for the length. So:


SWOLF = Time to swim a lap (seconds) + Strokes to swim a lap.


For example, if you swim 25-yards in 15 seconds and take 12 strokes, you’ve earned yourself a SWOLF score of 27.
