Greetings
I am reading a book by Jan Olbrecht, the Dutch physiologist. In the last chapter he talks about using a T-30 test in the abscence of blood lactate testing to determine a swimmers aerobic capacity. He then gives a table to assign a range of 100m workout paces based on the results of the T-30. The whole chart has times for meters not yards. Is there a way to convert the times I am interested in into 100 yard times?
Thanks

All you really need to know is 1 yard = 0.9144 meters. Just multiply the meters time by .9144 and you'll be close. The only other factor is the number of turns. Since you'll do more turns in a T-30 swum in a 25 yard pool versus a 25 meter pool you should be slightly faster in the yards pool, assuming you have good turns. Multiplying by 0.9 will get you pretty close I would guess.
