The Course Converter changes a time between short course and long course pools (SCM, LCM, SCY). Enter a time, pick the pools, and read the converted result. It is free.
What Course Converter shows you
Times are not the same across pool types. Shorter pools are faster because of more turns and push offs.
The converter applies standard factors so you can compare a short course swim to a long course target, or the other way around.
Step by step
Open the converter
In the menu, go to Tools, then Course Converter.
Enter a time
Type the time you want to convert.
Set the pools
Choose the From and To pools (SCM, LCM, SCY). Use the swap arrow to flip them.
Set the event
Choose the stroke and distance.
Read the result
The converted time appears at the top, with the difference and percentage.
Free vs Pro
What you get on each plan
The Course Converter is free. It is handy for reading a meet’s standards in the pool type a swimmer actually races.
Tips
- Conversions are approximate. Real differences depend on a swimmer’s turns.
- Swap to go either direction, short to long or long to short.
- Use it with Standards to read a target in your own pool type.
- Match the stroke and distance for an accurate factor.
