impressive prelim swims
should be some exciting swims tonight
mens 100 br
4 2 LOCHTE Ryan USA 0.73 27.44 31.54 58.98
Event 6
Women's 100m Backstroke
1 7 COVENTRY Kirsty ZIM 0.77 28.61 29.80 58.41
4 seconds is way too much
this is SCM
so more like 2.5 - 3 seconds
ie the mens 50 free records are
18.47 scy
20.9 scm
21.2 lcm
That's so fast for a 50 ***.
Take off about 4 seconds for a yards conversion and she's in the 25 second range for a 50.
MANCHESTER, England, April 10. THE United States' Jessica Hardy claimed the world record in the women's 50 *** at the FINA World Short Course Championships held in Manchester.
The American demolished Jade Edmistone's global standard of 29.90 set in 2004 when she clocked an astonishing 29.58 to win gold. It is the first victory in the event for the U.S. Incidentally, Hardy also broke the American record of Tara Kirk, who set the standard with a 30.04 in Austin, Texas last month.
We always use 4 seconds per 50 and 8 seconds per hundred as a good rule of thumb.
As the times drop down really low....the conversion is more like 3.5 and 7 seconds less on a 50 and 100.
This sounds more like a rule of thumb to go from long course meters to short course yards, not from short course meters to short course yards.
For SCM to SCY I'd just take off 10%. That will be pretty close.

They don't have a 50 *** listed on the converter though.
