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,
Canuck
use this:

And enter your specific info for the 100 to get a rating. Then take that rating and use it to estimate a time for any pool event you want. But it's only an estimate.
If I used my 50 free to generate a base rating, then there is significant drift as I select longer events. My 50 rating generates a time .8 sec faster than my best for 100, 6 seconds faster than my best for 200, etc..
Great Bay Masters has a similar rating calculator here:

As mentioned in several other posts, there is no guarantee that you will be able to achieve the same rating in a long event as in a shorter one. In my case, my 200 rating is much better than my 100 or 50.
