I know that there are sites/programs and maybe even tables out there for converting times from yards to meters.
But do they work for everyone?
last april I was able to swim a 200 yard pushing it hard but not max for a 2:03 which according to one site would mean I could swim roughly 2:17 at practice in a meters pool. today i pushed a 200 and hit the wall at 2:25 or so.
I started thinking about it for the rest of practice and decided that my yards times are much faster than my meters time converted because my body type benefits greatly from taking 2-4 less strokes/length as well as getting that break on the turn earlier.
anyone have recent times in yards and meters that could test any of the converting sites and see if they are even close.
here's the one I use more often

Thanks for the tips...I reckon Southlake is about 35/40 mins from me, maybe next year eh? As for the DAM meet, do they do an 800 free? My only motivation for the 1500 would be a possible top 10, and its a helluva long way to swim and come in 11th!
I would give Southlake a better than even chance at hosting SCY Zones 2012.
There is no official 800 free, but you can either split request or talk to Bobby Patten about adding an event number for it which would probably just be combined with a 1500 heat. I think there were only 2 1500 heats last year and the year before.
Thanks for the reminder, I came in 11th in the 1500 last year. :badday:
