This is so strange to me. Everything I see for converting your pool times to open water, the pool pace is always faster (presumably to account for pushing off of the wall) but I’m significantly faster in open water (difference between 2:05/100yd and 1:52/100yd). I’m an amateur training for my first 70.3 in September and have struggled with swimming, but now that it’s warmer outside I’ve taken to open water swimming and have improved significantly. Is this normal?
