I am doing my first LCM meet and was wondering if the conversions are accurate.
50 free SCY to LCM:
26.8 converts to 31.16
100 free SCY to LCM:
1:01.75 converts to 1:11.55
I don't want to seed myself in a slow heat, but I'm almost sure I can do better than that.

An analysis was done that showed a long course race is more than 10% longer of actual swimming than short course. It isn't a trick. A short course 50 yard freestyle involves only about 35 years of actual swimming due to the start, the glide into and out of the turn. In long course you lose the glide into and out of the turn. You end up swimming more than 10% more than short course.
So use the converted times.
