Stop Guessing. Start Performing.
The ultimate performance swim metrics platform. SetGO: TRP Calculator translates your training data into race-day results.
Train to Race, Not Train to Train!
For too long, swimmers and coaches have been buried in data without a clear path to the podium. Laps, times, and heart rates are just numbers without context. SetGO was built on a simple philosophy: every set, every lap, and every stroke should be a direct step towards a faster race. We bridge the gap between effort in the daily training environment (DTE) and results in the competition arena.
The all new “PREMIUM” version…so many features, so easy to use!

Transform any Personal Best into your greatest asset. Want to see the required splits for a 1% improvement? Need to set specific training targets at 3% off race pace?

Stop guessing at race pace. For every 100m event, SetGO: TRP Calculator instantly calculates the precise first 50m and second 50m splits required to hit your target time. You get the exact metrics needed to teach perfect pacing, prevent costly fade-outs on the final 50m, and turn a good race into a great one!
-
The #1 mistake in any 200m race is going out too fast. SetGO: TRP Calculator is the antidote. We don't just give you the four 50m splits; we surgically break down the crucial first 50m into 15m, 25m, and 50m targets. Now you can coach your swimmers to control their opening speed, conserve energy, and dominate the second half of the race. It's the ultimate tool for strategic pacing.
-
The IM is won and lost in the details. SetGO: TRP Calculator breaks down the 200m IM into four distinct 50m target times for each stroke, giving you a clear blueprint for your athlete's strengths and weaknesses.
Game-Changing Feature: Go even deeper. The calculator generates targets based on your swimmer's IM switch times, giving you the ultimate data point to design entire training sessions around faster, more efficient transitions between strokes. It's a level of detail your competition simply doesn't have.
How It Works: 3 Simple Steps
1. Enter a Personal Best (PB) Click inside the "Your Athlete" PB box to enter the swimmer's current best time. The time must be in a MM:00.00 format (e.g., 00:58.41).
2. Adjust the Percentage Use the + and - buttons to set your target. Go negative (-1%) to model a faster race goal, or go positive (+3%) to create a specific training pace off their PB.
3. Get Your Blueprint The calculator will instantly update, showing you the new Target Time along with the precise splits and pacing metrics required to achieve your goal. It's that simple!

Standard vs. Premium: Which SetGO TRP Calculator is Right for You?
As coaches, we live by the stopwatch. But the time we spend holding the watch is valuable, while the time we spend typing data into a spreadsheet is not.
That is the core difference between the Standard and Premium versions of the SetGO TRP Calculator. The Standard version gives you the math; the Premium version gives you back your time.
Here is a breakdown of the key differences to help you decide which tool fits your coaching workflow.
1. Data Entry vs. One-Click Loading
The Standard Experience: The Standard calculator is a powerful standalone tool. It handles all the complex math for target times and race pacing. However, it relies on manual input. Every time you want to run a calculation, you need to type in the swimmer’s name, select the course, and manually enter their Personal Best (PB). It works perfectly for one-off calculations, but it can be slow if you are managing a full squad.
The Premium Advantage: Premium removes the typing. With the Team Roster integration, you simply select an athlete (e.g., "Jack Smith") from your dropdown list. The system instantly connects to their profile and loads their saved PBs. You can jump from a 200 Free calculation for one swimmer to a 100 Backstroke for another in seconds, without ever touching your keyboard.
2. The Team Roster: The "Heartbeat" of Your Season
The biggest feature exclusive to Premium is the Team Roster Athlete Management System (TRAMS). This isn't just a list of names; it is a "PB Bank" that transforms how you manage data.
The PB Bank: All your swimmers' imported times are stored in a central registry. You don't need to look up a time on a separate sheet; it's already there.
"Smart Arrow" Shortcuts: This is a favorite feature among power users. Beside every time in your PB Bank is a small arrow. Clicking it doesn't just load the time—it intelligently sets the context. If you click a time in the Short Course or Yards column, the calculator automatically switches the Course Mode to match. It saves you 3-4 clicks on every single calculation.
3. Snapshot vs. The Big Picture
The Standard Experience: Standard is great for "in the moment" analysis. It tells you what a swimmer needs to do today to hit a specific target.
The Premium Advantage: Premium is about long-term development. The Athlete History & Analytics module tracks every swim your athlete has logged. Instead of just seeing today's target, you can view a visual performance graph that shows their trajectory over the entire season. It turns a simple math calculation into a powerful visual aid for athlete reviews.
4. Training Zones & CSS
The Standard Experience: You can calculate training zones, but you need to manually find and input the test times every time you want to update them.
The Premium Advantage: Premium automates the physiology. Because your roster is already loaded, the system can automatically pull the necessary test times (like a 400 and 200 Free) to calculate an athlete's Critical Swim Speed (CSS) and threshold pace instantly. If a specific time is missing, you still have the flexibility to enter it manually, but for the majority of your squad, it is "set and forget."
Summary: The Verdict
Stick with Standard if: You are a solo athlete, a parent of one swimmer, or a coach who only needs to run an occasional calculation.
Upgrade to Premium if: You manage a squad, want to track progress over time, or simply want to spend less time typing and more time coaching.

Handy Coaching Tools
Previously known as FINA Points, the World Aquatics Points system allocates a numerical value to every swim. Its universal value lies in its ability to provide a fair and objective comparison of performances across different events, strokes, and distances. The system is anchored by a 'base time' for each event, which is set annually based on elite global results and is worth exactly 1000 points. This allows any swim, anywhere in the world, to be measured against a single, world-class benchmark, making it an essential tool for tracking progress, qualifying for major competitions, and evaluating a swimmer's performance on a global scale.
