Didn't know Golden Cheetah does swimming, I've been using an ancient version, I should upgrade and import all the data in and see what it can do. But then my spreadsheet tracks loads more stuff (weight, booze, etc) and although the new version of Golden Cheetah may do more than before it won't do everything.
In my bigger spreadsheet I calculate swimTSS based on this: http://home.trainingpeaks.com/blog/article/calculating-swimming-tss-score
Found a similar one for running.
Also, Just looked at your spreadsheet and wondered why don't you estimate IF from "Average pace"/"threshold pace"? I know it wouldn't be perfect and would struggle with interval sessions and hilly terrain, but it would probably average out ok.
Maybe it would average out, but manual values allows me to do it based on RPE. You'll note that my parkrun goes down as an intensity factor of 1 despite it being a sub 1h effort (so it should be 1.05 or 1.1), I just know that I'm not pushing as hard as I could.

I've not got around to looking it up yet, but do you have any idea how GC's "Swim Score"/"Bike Score"/"GOVSS"/"Tri scores" are calculated?
Since the addition of S/B/R metrics to Golden Cheetah, I'm wondering about moving all my analysis over to there instead of Training peaks. However, the only PMC chart that seems to accommodate all 3 sports is the one based around the "tri scores". Bike score seems to tally pretty well with TSS from training peaks but both run and swim appear to show much more variation.
