How to Convert SCM to SCY

Michael Phelps impressed the world by winning numerous gold medals and put swimming back on the map. His world record times were equally impressive. As the U.S. and U.K. do not use the metric system, swim times sometimes need to be converted. SCM, or short course meters, can be converted into SCY, short course yards. You don't need to be a mathematician with a pencil and paper. Instead, use online programs to convert the times for you.
