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?

Used to swim 3 miles in 1 hour 3 minutes in a 50yd pool. Open water 3 mile swim at the CNE half mile course inside the breakwall, 1 hr 6 minutes, + a few seconds. 1760 yards is one mile not 1650 yds.
By the way when I swam 3 miles in a pool I always did open turns, flip turns were too tiring.
