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

I would give Southlake a better than even chance at hosting SCY Zones 2012.
Cool - hopefully I'll be there then!
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.
You know just after I posted it, I thought I could probably do a split request :doh:. Looking at last year's TT I reckon I have more chance for an 800 than 1500, maybe there are less on offer?
Thanks for the reminder, I came in 11th in the 1500 last year. :badday:
Sorry.....will now take foot out of mouth....
