Agent playbook

Resolve Swim Pace Calculator from /agent-tools.json and open its contract before execution.
Validate inputs against the contract schema instead of scraping labels from the page UI.
Open the browser page only when a person wants to review charts, assumptions, or related tools.

Agent FAQ

Should ChatGPT, Claude, or another agent click through the UI?

No. Start with /agent-tools.json, then follow the tool's contract URL. The page UI is for human review, not parameter discovery.

When do tools show Quick and Advanced?

Every tool opens in Quick Start first. Advanced Controls keeps the same scenario, reveals more assumptions or diagnostics, and every tool keeps AI integrations inline below the instructions.

When should an agent still open the browser page?

Open it when a human wants to sense-check the output, review the chart, or keep exploring related tools after the calculation finishes.

Questions people usually ask

Can I use yards instead of meters?

Yes. The calculator supports both meters and yards, and always returns pace for both 100m and 100yd so you can compare workouts.

What if I only know laps and pool length?

Switch to laps mode and enter lap count plus pool length. The calculator converts that into total distance automatically.

How is SWOLF estimated?

SWOLF is estimated from your pace, distance, stroke type, and pool length assumptions. It is a planning estimate, not a replacement for watch-based stroke counts.

What does the effort zone mean?

Effort zone classifies pace intensity from Recovery to Sprint using your pace per 100m. It helps you align sets with easy, tempo, threshold, or sprint work.

Is this tool free and private to use?

Yes. AI Fit Hub tools are free, no-signup browser tools. Inputs stay in your browser unless you choose to share a URL.

Do these tools replace medical guidance?

No. These outputs are general fitness estimates — not medical advice.
