Convert min/100m (swim pace) → min/100 yards
About this conversion
min/100m (swim pace) and min/100 yards are common speed measurements.

Why this conversion matters
Competitive swimming splits are recorded in min/100m under long-course (LCM) and short-course metres (SCM) rules almost everywhere, but older US pools and some masters/club records still use the 100-yard split (SCY) — this converter lets you compare times across the two pool-measurement standards.
FAQ
Why do some swim times use yards instead of metres?
Many US high school, college (NCAA) and some masters swimming competitions are held in 25-yard short-course pools (SCY), a standard that predates widespread US adoption of metric pools.
Is a 100-yard pool shorter than a 100m pool?
Yes — 100 yards is 91.44 metres, so a yard-based pool length is shorter than its metric equivalent, which is part of why SCY times aren't directly comparable to SCM or LCM times without conversion.
Can I compare my yards pace directly to a metric swim pace?
Only after converting — raw numbers look similar but represent different distances, so always convert to the same unit before comparing swim splits.
