On a "true" openwater course what do you consider an appropriate time conversion? By true I mean, no current, accurate distance not swimming into too many folks and not going off course.
Another way to ask is I went a 25:46 in an 2000M in a LCM pool. That is 1:17.5 per 100M. What could I expect to swim in an open water 1500M per 100?
Thoughts?

To answer your question, I might guess you could hold 1:27's? That's with a wetsuit and if your navigating is good and water is flat.
