To display workout pace for a CustomWorkout step, you can utilize the new features introduced in watchOS 11 with WorkoutKit. Specifically, you can customize the name of your workout steps using the displayName property, which allows you to provide more context for each step, such as indicating the pace or type of exercise. This customization is part of the enhancements to the custom workout experience, where detailed information about the current step and upcoming steps can be viewed by scrolling down during the workout.

For more detailed information on how to implement these features, you can refer to the session Build custom swimming workouts with WorkoutKit (03:13).
