How to Use This Calculator
- Enter 400m swim time (seconds), Vertical jump from water (cm), and 25m sprint swim (seconds).
- Set Weighted treading (seconds).
- Review the Composite score (0-100) result.
- Use Endurance score and Leg power score to inform your decision.
How the result changes with 400m swim time (seconds)
| 400m swim time (seconds) | Composite score (0-100) |
|---|---|
| 252 | 71.3 |
| 432 | 59.9 |
| 648 | 50.6 |
| 828 | 47.9 |
What each input means
- 400m swim time (seconds)
- Time to complete a 400m freestyle swim. Elite players finish in ~4 minutes (240s).
- Vertical jump from water (cm)
- Height jumped vertically out of the water from eggbeater kick. Elite level is 60-70cm.
- 25m sprint swim (seconds)
- Time to sprint 25 meters freestyle. Top players do this in ~11 seconds.
- Weighted treading (seconds)
- Duration holding a weight (e.g., 5kg plate) above the water while eggbeater treading.
What each result means
- Composite score (0-100)
- Overall fitness score weighted: 30% endurance, 25% leg power, 25% speed, 20% treading.
- Endurance score
- Score for the 400m swim component (0-100).
- Leg power score
- Score for the vertical jump component (0-100).
- Sprint speed score
- Score for the 25m sprint component (0-100).
- Treading score
- Score for the weighted treading component (0-100).
- Grade (0-5)
- Overall grade: 5=A+ (elite), 4=A (excellent), 3=B (good), 2=C (average), 1=D (below avg), 0=F.
- 400m pace / 100m (sec)
- Average pace per 100 meters during the 400m swim.
How this is calculated
Worked example, using the default values
- Identify Input Parameters4 parameters400m swim time (seconds) = 360, Vertical jump from water (cm) = 40, 25m sprint swim (seconds) = 16, Weighted treading (seconds) = 60 = 4 input(s) provided
- Calculate Composite scoreComposite score = swim400Score * 0.30 + verticalScore * 0.25 + sprintScore * 0.25 + treadScore ...64.4 = 64.4
- Calculate Endurance scoreEndurance score65 = 65
- Calculate Leg power scoreLeg power score66.7 = 66.7
