What this tool does
Swimming is timed per hundred metres the way running is timed per kilometre, and the per-length time is what you can actually check against the clock on the wall. Pool length matters for comparison: a 25 m pool gives more push-offs than a 50 m pool over the same distance.
Formula
pace = time ÷ distance × 100
