Sports / Fitness / Recreation / piscinas / swimming pools | | Spanish term or phrase: la potencia del nado | Hello, translating a user's manual for a swimtrainer system.
For potencia del nado, power of the swim just doesn't sound good to me. It seems like intensity would work better, but the word would be repeated here potencia/intensidad.
el usuario elegirá la potencia del nado mediante la barra de intensidad de nado [1], la potencia seleccionada se vera en [6], en tanto por ciento. La intensidad del nado viene en una escala de 25% (mínima) a un 100% (máxima).

Thanks rragan. I think "stroke power" will do (notice I did not use "power of the swim stroke"; I deliberately omitted the word "swim"); I think it addresses the concern you raised.
