I've been trying to find site that shows conversion from long course meters into short course yards. Can anyone point me in right direction or let me know say per 50 what the time difference is?
Thanks in Advance,

Multiply by 9, after converting to seconds, then move the decimal.
It is not a straight line conversion, meters to yards, as that is not accurate due to the extra length of the pool. This works for me.
Examples : 50m fly @ 30.71; 30.71 x 9 = 27639 = 27.64
100m br @ 1:19.84 or 79.84 x 9 = 71856 = 1:11.86
The factor for long course is .875
If you wish, just subtract 10 % and you will be close enough.
