This is going to sound stupid, but I've been looking up the answer and that should settle it, but it goes against everything I've ever known about this sport. I grew up thinking that yards were shorter than meters. One day recently I looked it up so I could convert my meters into yards and I did more yards than actual meters. Looking at a conversion chart right now says a yard is .9144 meters. Yet I foud a time converter online and all yards times are faster. Uhhhh, what am I missing here?
You just said yards are shorter than meters, yet, again 1 yard equals 0.9144 meters. Shouldn't that number be over 1.0 for meters to be more? Am I looking at it backwards?
1 meter is ~1.09yds. I am not sure if you are now just joking with us or not. but look at it like this
1 yd is complete 100% is equal to 0.9144 meters (91%)
so if you take 100% of a meter (1.00) then you need to go 109% of a yard.
if you still don't understand the whole yds vs meters, just know that yards are short shorter, swimming in a yds pool will be faster than swimming in a meter pool.
