Even trickier, the conversion is not always consistent across events for a given swimmer. Without knowing that individual’s history, its would be hard to know whether they might be comparatively better in course than another. In addition, its much easier to do rank comparisons across swimming courses rather than attempting to figure out what times a swimmer would actually do swimming a different course. What the powerpoint calculator answers is: “ How does a time compare to all other swimmers in that given event/age group/gender?” USA swimming, while they don’t endorse the idea of a time calculator, essentially does provide one with their powerpoint calculator. For example, I needed to know whether a 22.00 50-yard freestyle was comparatively faster or slower than a 47.00 100-yard freestyle. To do these, I needed a way to compare strength of times across events. However, I found a need for such a time converter when building a tool to find ways to help set team lineups and to do taper predictions. Now why would I prefer to answer this question? As a swimmer, I certainly had more interest knowing how my improvements in my LCM times would transfer over to SCY season. I chose to have my time converter answer the second question: “ What time would be similarly competitive as my time of ‘X’ in the SCY 100 freestyle in SCM or LCM?” Another reason is that different swimmers tend to compete SCY, LCM, and SCM races, so a top 1% time in each means competing against different groups of swimmers. David Nolan, for example, is an example of a swimmer who was incredibly dominant in SCY and while still extremely fast in LCM, was never quite as good. The first obvious reason that a swimmer’s comparative ranking in one course would be different than another – even had they swum the same event that day – is that some swimmers are better suited towards certain courses than others. The answers to two questions are closely related, but could differ in a couple of ways. The first is: “ If I just swam time ‘X’ in the 100 freestyle SCY, how fast would I have gone had the course been SCM or LCM?” The second distinct but very similar question is: “ What time would be similarly competitive as my time of ‘X’ in the SCY 100 freestyle in SCM or LCM?”
When I would like to convert a swimming time in one course to another, there are two distinct questions that I could want to answer. With these in mind, I set out to create a new time converter that would be just as accurate for elite swimmers as for age groupers and to work as well for distance freestylers as for sprint breastrokers unencumbered by these flaws. None of them were appropriate for age group swimmers and all had issues when applied to record-setting times. They were all based off of times done in different courses by faster swimmers and hence they all tended to perform well for fast, but not super fast swims. After using and experimenting with them all for long enough, I grew tired of certain flaws. The time converters made by SwimSwam, Team Unify, and others all work well for most purposes, ages, and events. Ryan Lochte’s 1:49.63 200 IM SCM converts to 1:53.36 LCM But why does the swimming world really need another time converter?

Sarah Sjostrom’s 51.71 100 Free LCM converts to 45.52 SCY Simone Manuel’s 45.56 100 Free SCY converts to to 51.76 LCM Its designed to be equally accurate on age group swimmers as it is on olympic champions. Tl:dr: this new time converter bases its results based how that time ranks against other swimmers in a given event, course, and gender.
