We are often asked about converting of Yards performances to Meters or vice versa and what these conversion factors should be. We have put together what we consider to be the most accurate conversions factors that we could create. These conversion factors are to be used only as a guide, based on our study of years of swimming statistics. We still regard swimming in yards or meters very different and the times which can be derived from conversions are only a guide and would in no way or at anytime replace actual performance figures in the stated system of either yards or meters. Our World Rankings would never utilize any converted times from any performance.
Conversion factors vary slightly for both distance types and swimmer capability.
