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?

It all has to do with oxygen exchange.
That is a very interesting concept, and one that I never would have considered before. I personally don't have that problem, my OW swims are always slower paced, but for my non-swimming background triathlete friends, this could be the answer why they are faster in OW.
