One time conversion tool I have used only does freestyle for 50 yard/meter distances. For other strokes like breaststroke the turns are a very significant part and I'm wondering how close a simple 1.1 conversion is.
Based on the 50 BR event rankings, I went from 58/90 SCM (38.54) to 50/141 SCY (32.61), so I definitely went faster but it's hard to pin down how much.
I think a large part of this was from changes in my weightlifting routine.

That tool converts my 32.61 50 BR SCY to 36.2 SCM and includes the altitude correction (Missoula, MT is at 3,200 feet). That gives roughly a 2.3 second drop from my last 50 BR SCM in October.
I never imagined that I'd get that kind of a time drop on a 50 yard event after being back at swimming for nearly 2 years! It makes me wonder what else might be possible.
