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?

I do a cable swim every year and my OW mile is about 4 minutes slower than my 1650. The water is calm and I stay straight because of the cable. In a 1500M, there are half the number of turns so I would guess your OW time to be close to 2 minutes slower depending on whether your turns are an asset or liability.
