Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone is aware of any online calculators you can use to predict your time in an event. For example, "I swam 100m free in 1:28, what would I be able to swim the 800m free in?"
I know this wouldn't be an absolute predictor, just something to give myself an idea of where I would be in the various events, without having to go out and swim them all in competition. :-)
Many thanks,

This is great info - the LMSC of Virginia Rating Calculator is exactly the kind of thing I've been searching for - thank you!
I find that my times give me a lower rating the longer the distance. I do have a recent long course 400m time of 8:22 to go with the others. I go from a 63.0 for 50m, 59.2 for 100m, and 55.3 for 200m. My 400m LC is actually 52.6!
I've been training for 3 years with masters swimming, initally about 3 practices a week, now 4 per week of 2000-3000m/practice. I've always enjoyed longer distance swimming much more than the sprints, but my sprint ratings seem to indicate I am actually better in the shorter events. Aside from my first swim meet (too excited!), my splits have generally been pretty even (can't remember them offhand though).
Maybe I need to keep working on my endurance more to bring my longer distance ratings up? :)
