Remember that for long distance freestyle, the distances and number of turns change too, which means that the back of the envelope calculations are a little more difficult:
500 yard freestyle (457.2m/19 turns) 400 meter freestyle (~437.45 yd/15 turns)
1000 yard freestyle (914.4m/39 turns) 800 meter freestyle (~874.89yd/31 turns)
1650 yard freestyle (1508.76m/65 turns) 1500 meter freestyle (~1640.42yd/59 turns)
You'll certainly want to use a calculator for these distances!
