Quick RationaleYes, we know what you are thinking. The G.O.A.T. The sprint freestyle conversions are right up there with what Simone Manuel has done in the SCY pool - makes sense considering Manuel is a 23.9/52.2 in the long course pool, which is right on Sjöström's heels. While Kelsi Worrell has been 21.9 on a relay start, there is absolutely nobody who can touch a 21.3 on a flat start. Her 50m fly is the most significant with a converted time of 21.35. Quick RationaleSwedish sensation Sarah Sjöström took the swimming world by storm in 2017 - taking down two world records in the 50/100m freestyle and pulling her total up to four along with the sprint butterfly races. Or, for you cynics out there, more opportunities to take multiple dolphin kicks. While Peaty has taken the LCM world records to unthinkable limits, the fact of the matter is that SCY breaststroke has progressed rapidly on the whole and a major factor in that progression is improved pullouts. ![]() Quick RationaleGiven the level of dominance Adam Peaty has exerted in the LCM sprint breaststrokes, one would expect his SCY converted times to be much faster than what has been done before. Conversion tools are meant to provide a general point of reference. endurance, etc.) to create a perfect algorithm. ![]() There are too many variables to consider with an individual swimmer (starts, pullouts, underwaters, strength/power vs. DISCLAIMER: Conversion tools are not perfect. After that, we used a handy-dandy conversion tool to provide the best estimate of a swimmer's long course meters time converted to in short course yards. Thus, we picked five international swimmers who have all competed in the past year and never competed in the NCAA. As we say farewell to another long course season in the United States and look forward to another NCAA short course season, the FloSwimming crew got into a little bit of a discussion on one of the prominent questions of the day: "I wonder how fast the best international swimmers would go in short course yards?"
