Length: One trip down the pool.
Interval: One or more consecutive lengths. A new
interval starts after a rest.
Stroke: A stroke is counted every time your arm
wearing the device completes a full cycle.
Swolf: Your swolf score is the sum of the time for one
pool length and the number of strokes for that
length. For example, 30 seconds plus 15 strokes
equals a swolf score of 45. Swolf is a measurement
of swimming efficiency and, like golf, a lower score
is better.
