When I record swim workouts in TrainingPeaks, I simply record the total time and the distance, and the threshold pace is a set variable. I do not upload files, and total time is calculated as if I swam the estimated avg pace without stopping. This, according to TrainingPeaks own website, is the way to calculate swim TSS.
When WKO5 syncs with TrainingPeaks, though, even with the same swim threshold pace recorded, the swim TSS is off by a factor of 50%, always lower in WKO5.
I contacted TrainingPeaks and was told that the calculation of swim TSS, in general, is no accurate, despite the incredibly simple calculation on their own website stating differently. I was told that if I uploaded files from a watch, it would be different, but that by me recording only total time and distance, the calculation can not be made accurately. I was told I need to babysit WKO and manually update all of the swim TSS's in WKO.
This thread is not a discussion of the merit of swim TSS.
Further, WKO calculates bike TSS differently, weighting rest/coasting more than TrainingPeaks, and even though the two sync, it is unidirectional so that TrainingPeaks bike TSS will nearly always be lower than WKO5. At this point, I think it's simplest to just ask for a refund of WKO5...
