Anyone have a reasonably accurate approximation of how their SCY pace per 100 translates when swimming open water? Assuming calm conditions and no navigation issues I'm curious what other people would use to estimate a 5K OW time based on say a 1000 SCY time of 12:30. Any thoughts?

Don't know if this is any help - I swim meters, not yards :)
However - it takes me a little more than 20 minutes to finish 1500 SCM, that's just above 1.20 per 100 m.
In a wet suit, under good conditions, I finish 5 km OW in about 1H13, that's just below 1.28 per 100 m.
Good conditions = Easy navigation, no current (going back and forth), no wind, water temperature around 19C, air around 22C.
