Conversion?

Is there a conversion factor from either a short- or long-course event to an open water mile? Obviously this depends on the condition of the water, swimmer, etc., but is there some "rough" translation going from walls to waves?

  • Rough conversion? Probably add 2 to 4 minutes to your pool mile time. It's gonna differ for individuals. If it's your first, remember, it's a learning experience and you'll get faster as you get more experience.
