Is the conversion calculator accurate?

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. That's pretty darn slow. Even I could do that. Sorry! Couldn't resist.
