I've sort of decided to swim the 400IM at Auburn. I've never swum it LCM before (and only once SCY), but will have twice before LCM Nats. I won't have a LCM time before I register, though. Since it seems as if sandbagging is a hot topic now, I want to make sure I enter a fairly realistic time -- but I don't want to end up out of my league either. My question is -- how do your actual LCM times in the 400IM compare to your converted SCY times? For the record, my 200IM SCY/LCM conversion is fairly accurate. Not sure if the same will apply to the 400IM, though.
Now I just hope that Swimosaur doesn't read this, as I will then be committed to swimming the LCM 400 IM. :)
I don't know many people who swim better in LCM than their conversion from SCY would suggest. My 400 LCM best time is 6 seconds slower than my conversion. However, my SCY was under college training and LCM was club team. So in a different environment it's hard to know for certain. I would definitely go a little slower if I was you.
