Maybe this should go in OW, but I'm curious to know how times compare pool to open water, if anyone can help.
I realise that weather conditions play a part, but lets assume that the lake is nice and flat and around 76F and I'm not wearing a wetsuit.
If I managed 23.50 for 1500SCM what can I realistically expect as a time for 2 laps of a 750m lake course?

PWB is right no formula.
If your turns stink you could be faster in open water. I have done miles in OW where you do not have to sight a lane marker for half a mile and return.
Water conditions are important, I have swum twenty miles in 2 hours with a river current.
