General Disclaimer

The information provided by iSwimband (“https://www.iswimband.com”) is for general educational and informational purposes only. Everything on the site is offered in good faith, but we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, about the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any calculator result, guide, or museum entry. Using the site is entirely at your own risk.

Not Coaching or Medical Advice

iSwimband is not a coaching service, a swim school, or a medical provider. The pace, SWOLF, distance, calorie, interval, and course-conversion calculators, along with every article and Learn entry, are educational tools that describe standard formulas and general swimming knowledge. They are not personalised training plans, and they are not a substitute for a qualified swim coach, instructor, physiotherapist, or physician.

Do not treat a calorie figure as nutritional guidance, a pace or interval as a prescribed workout for your body, or any guide as clearance to attempt a session. If you have a heart condition, a respiratory condition, an injury, are pregnant, or are returning to swimming after a layoff, speak to a doctor before you follow anything you read here.

Estimates, Not Exact Figures

The calculators use widely accepted formulas and standard reference values — the exact 1 yard = 0.9144 m conversion, population-average MET values for calorie burn, and simple pace arithmetic. They are only as good as the numbers you enter and the assumptions behind them. Real results vary with your technique, effort, fitness, the water, and the true length of your pool, which is not always exactly 25 m or 25 yd. Course-conversion times in particular are pace-equivalent estimates that ignore turns and underwaters, so they are a floor, not a prediction. Use every result as a planning aid, not a guaranteed outcome.

Water Safety

Swimming carries genuine risk of drowning, cold-water shock, and injury, especially in open water, for children, and for inexperienced swimmers. Nothing on iSwimband makes you a safe or competent swimmer, and no calculator can judge whether conditions or a session are safe for you. Always:

• Swim within your ability and never alone in open water.
• Swim where there is a lifeguard whenever you can, and follow their instructions.
• Learn to swim, and teach children to swim, through qualified instruction.
• Respect posted flags, depth markings, rip-current warnings, and cold-water risk.
• Use appropriate flotation for weak or non-swimmers, and never rely on toys as safety devices.

For any question about whether it is safe for you to swim a particular distance, in a particular place, or in particular conditions, defer to a lifeguard, a coach, and your own good judgement over anything this site produces.

No Warranty

iSwimband expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that our tools, calculations, or information are error-free, accurate, or complete, or that the website will always be available without interruption.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall iSwimband be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special, or consequential damages — including injury, loss of health, or any harm arising from swimming — related to your use of, or reliance on, our tools, guides, and information.

User Responsibility

By using iSwimband, you acknowledge and agree that:

• You will use your own judgement, and consult a coach, instructor, or doctor, when applying anything here to your own swimming.
• You will double-check calculator inputs — unit, pool length, and time — before relying on a result.
• You are responsible for your own safety in and around water at all times.
• You assume all risks associated with swimming and with the use of our tools and information.
