How to calculate Pace during swim ?

Hi guys.

I'm writing watch application for swimmers.
I would like to display Pace during swim.
Is that possible ?
Is that available from API or is there a possibility to calculate that manually ?

I can see that Activity.Info object has currentSpeed property.
Is that something I can use ?

Pace is seconds per 100 meters.
Speed is meters per seconds.
So Pace = 100 / speed ?

That would be the easiest way, it looks looks like the speed is estimated of a number of factors, https://support.garmin.com/en-GB/?faq=iS2KcmGiVb4djrE1lri8i7

I’m assuming you’ve got an activity recording with all of the necessary parameters for swimming, https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/api-docs/Toybox/ActivityRecording.html
