SCY = what for SCM?

Just wondering if there is a way to calculate SCY times into SCM, or vice versa...? I've not raced SCY since I was a kid...

    I prefer to just keep separate lists of times for each course and not bother with converting. I developed this preference when coaching some 30 years ago and had a group of swimmers who were unfamiliar with LCM. After each race they had to consult a converter slide rule thingie that someone had brought, as if the LCM times were somehow valid only after conversion to scy with which they were familiar. At the next meet, I banished the converter and told them to just begin creating a new mental data base for LCM times. Of course, if you've never swum any scm for instance, and need a seed time to enter a meet, then you could multiply your scy time by 1.11 and use that. But afterward, I'd recommend just keeping separate lists. Fair enough.... except if I've not raced SCY since I was a kid... just wanted to know... AND THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE!! much appreciated...
