Is there a way to be able to log meters for the swim? I'm stuck on yards and can't get out.

When you enter your distances you have a choice between meters or yards when you figure the calculation of pace. As far as I can tell which ever you select, meters or yards, tells your log which measurement increment you intend to use. This method only applies to the day's entry. If you would like to change your default setting from yards to meters you can do that in your user training log control panel.Click on "Control Panel" and then click on the top icon of those offered on the left side of the screen (its the one above the little file cabinet thingy). Let us know if this doesn't work and we'll try to figure something out.

Ok what I need to do was push the 'calc' button. I just guessed at a time to give it something to calculate. Now the days show up in meters, the monthly total is not accurate but we're getting somewhere.

Pace in swim, bike and run is not the sum of individual paces divided by 'X' paces but by summing all times and distance then dividing those summed numbers.

So if you divide your total minutes swimmed by total time swimmed for the month, the avg monthly pace is correct as reported.

Doing it this way represents more of a 'weighted average' so that a few really, really fast short swims of say 10-20minutes long dont skew the results (by treating all swims equally) if we computed avg pace by the other method.
