What is Pace?
Pace refers to the speed in running or swimming.
- In running, pace is measured in minutes per kilometer or mile. For example, a pace of 5:30 means you cover each kilometer in 5 minutes and 30 seconds, which corresponds to a speed of approximately 10.9 km/h.
- In swimming, pace is measured by the time it takes to swim 100 meters. For instance, a pace of 2:00 means you take an average of 2 minutes to swim 100 meters.
Ethan builds the interactive health calculators on Height Growth Blog. Based in Denver, Colorado, he combines a software engineering background with a focus on evidence-based health tech, turning dense clinical guidelines — from CDC growth charts to NIH/IOM dietary references — into tools parents and teens can use in under a minute. Every calculator on the site, from BMI Percentile to Body Fat and Calcium Intake, is built directly from primary sources (NIH, AAP, CDC, Mayo Clinic) and cross-checked against peer-reviewed studies before launch.
