Can you convert metric times to yardage times?

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 Spudfin

  • Turns and SDK make a big difference. Absolutely, but they are going to make a much bigger difference (percentage wise, anyway) in something like a 100 back than in a timed 30 minute swim. For the purpose spudfin mentioned just multiplying the meter time by 0.9 should give something good to within a second or two per hundred and that should be sufficient.
