Thank you for the detailed document at https://www.chesterlestreetasc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Equation.pdf, it really did help me using it as a reference for my excel macros at https://leman.net/wp/2024/11/08/converting-swim-times-between-short-and-long-course-in-excel-using-the-british-swimming-equivalent-time-algorithm/ , especially as the write up at https://www.swimmingresults.org/downloads/equivalent-time-share/algorithm.php is so poor/missing bits.
However I think there is are two typos in the document. Please correct me if I am wrong but I believe that:
Chester-le-street document:
turnTime = turnValue x (imperialDistance / 100) + (turnsPerHundred − 1)
Should be :
turnTime = turnValue x (imperialDistance / 100) * (turnsPerHundred – 1)
Chester-le-street document:
convertedTime = distanceTime × turnTime + 0.05
Should be :
convertedTime = DistanceTime – TurnTime + 0.05
