Transition Metrics

These metrics measure your performance, skills and speed in all actions done during your turns/transitions

All metrics can be seen in the  Activity Details for a past workout or a Live Activity, those metrics that are also available in Focus Metrics are highlighted below.

Some of these metrics you may be familiar with, and some will be new. Learn more about how to improve your Transition metrics here.

  • Transition Time- Turn time + Pushoff time. Time from last stroke entry (when your hand hits the water on the last stroke before the turn) to next split push end (when feet leave the wall). (Focus)
  • Turn Time- (Focus) Time to change directions:
    • Flip Turns: from when the head starts to tilt downward to when feet initially hit the wall 
    • Open Turn: From when the hands hit the wall until the feet hit the wall
  • Turn Rate- The speed of your turn is measured by the speed of your revolutions. The indicators are the same as Turn Time
  • Push-off Time- Time spent pushing off the wall, from when feet first hit the wall to when feet leave the wall (Focus)
  • Push Max Acceleration- Peak acceleration during push-off (Focus)
  • Push Strength- Index of accumulated total acceleration during push-off (Focus)
  • Dive Time- Total time from the first movement to entry into the water
  • Dive Hang Time- Time from feet off the block to entry into the water
  • Dive Block Time- Time from the first movement to feet off the blocks

For some metrics, a higher number is more desirable (ie. Push Strength), while for others a lower number is the goal (ie. Turn Time).

Your Focus scores will automatically invert those where a lower result is more desirable so that a higher Focus score always represents a better result.
