Aquabike Pace Calculator

Set a goal time for each leg to see the pace you need to hold — and your total aquabike finish time.

Pick a race distance and set a goal time for the swim and the bike. The calculator shows the pace you need on each leg — swim pace per 100m and bike speed — and adds them, with your transition, into a total finish time. Adjust either leg to see the total move.

Aquabike is a swim followed by a bike — a triathlon without the run. It's a popular way into multi-sport for swimmers and cyclists, and a favorite for anyone protecting their legs from the pounding of a run.

You get the open-water start and the transition of a triathlon, then finish on the bike — free to push the ride all the way to the line.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I calculate my aquabike splits?+
Set a goal time for the swim and the bike, and the calculator shows the pace that time requires (swim pace per 100m, bike speed), then adds your two legs and the transition into a total finish time. Adjust either leg and the total updates.
What is an aquabike?+
An aquabike is a multisport race with a swim and a bike leg but no run — the same swim and bike distances as a triathlon of the equivalent name. Because there is only one transition, your finish time is the swim plus the bike plus that transition.
What race distances does this aquabike pace calculator handle?+
This aquabike pace calculator covers the standard aquabike distances, like Sprint and Olympic. You can adjust your own goal time for each leg. The calculator can be used to track pacing for any aquabike distance to help you track your goal time, pace by split, and split time.
