Pool Dimensions & Conversion Rules
How do you convert SCM to SCY swim times? A Short Course Meters (SCM) pool is 25m long, while a Short Course Yards (SCY) pool is 25 yards (22.86m) long. Because meters are exactly 1.0936 yards, SCM swimming times are slower than SCY times. The general rule of thumb for swim time conversions is to multiply SCM times by 0.901 to estimate the SCY equivalent, or multiply SCY times by 1.11 to estimate SCM.
