25m Short Course Time - Add constant to obtain 50m long course time
50m long course time - Subtract constant to obtain 25m short course time
These conversion factors apply to the age of the individual on the first day of the meet - not the event age group. If your time was achieved in a 25m pool and the competition you are entering is being swum in a 50m pool, you must add the constant to obtain the entry time. Conversely, if the time was achieved in a 50m pool and the competition you are entering is being swum in a 25m pool, you need to deduct the constant to obtain the entry time.
