Mathematically, how do you work out 'three quarter pace"?
Let's say (for the sake of easy calculations) your best time for an event is 1 minute. In practice, you want to go three quarter pace. So a 100% effort will result in a time of 60 seconds. A 75% effort should result in a longer time. My rudimentary maths tells me I should divide 100 by 75 and multiply the result by 60. That works out to 80 seconds, which is a minute and 20 seconds. Why does that sound much slower than what I would normally envisage three quarter pace to be? Or is my maths completely messed up?

Thanks for the review. I do not think there is a mistake when I expand out the terms:
P_swim = ((C_flow * V^2) * D_pool) * t_interval
keeping in mind V = D_pool / t_interval
let us now substitute terms for V
P_swim = ((C_flow * (D_pool/t_interval)^2) * D_pool) * t_interval
one of the t_interval's gets canceled out.
