terminology on time/pacing

Can someone clarify for me what is meant when we refer to someone as a say 1:40 per 100 m swimmer? Does this refer to their sustainable/holdable pace per 100 m, or does this mean their best/fastest pace per 100 m?

To make sure you're speaking the same language, you could try asking, "so, what's that in minutes per mile?" to get across that you're not talking about sprints.
I don't wear a wetsuit; it gives the ocean a sporting chance.
Then, if they want to do an IM swim (4K-ish), then I tell them to add :05 to :10 per 100m, for example.
But, bottom line, yes, like @malinaka says, sustainable.
We're all just carbon, water, starlight, oxygen and dreams
