I am wondering if there are commonly used metrics for use by fitness swimmers to measure their progress. As we all know it is easier to maintain motivation if one feels one is improving. What I am looking for are things the non-competitive swimmer can use to measure their progress in the pool. Metrics that could be measured in club workouts would be ideal.
Some of things that come to mind are distance in a given time (T60, T30, T20, T15, T10, T5) and time for distance (400m, 1000m, 1500m, 5km). Also some sort of stroke count metric might be good, 50m time plus stroke count being the most commonly cited.
My goal is to embed these into an online log that people can use to track their progress.
Any suggestions?

In my swim stroke analysis program I keep every video they send me with the corrections I have made then they send me new videos and check for improvements. They record of their progress then they fill out on swim shark the workouts I supply to them and mark in the times they do. all for $50 a month.
