Pool Conversion Factors
Individual swimming pools vary in length and require a conversion factor.
To calculate the official time, multiply stopwatch time by the adjustment factor
Why do we need pool Conversions?
Pool conversions refer to a mathematical formula used to standardize times. When a pool is not the standard competitive length (exactly 25 yards for NWSC), times are converted using a mathematical formula to extrapolate what the time would be in a 25 yard pool.

Steiner Ranch Stars
12401 Bella Mar Trail, Austin, TX 78732
As with most locations, parking is limited and we ask that you pay careful attention to ensure you are parked in an acceptable location to help maintain a positive relationship with the community we are visitors in.
Parking Assistance is provided by Stars Volunteers. They are giving us priority in the parking lot and street parking. There are approximately 50 spaces + 4 handicapped spaces in the parking lot for our team. These spots will be filled on first come, first served basis. Once filled, parking will be what is available on the street. The Parking Volunteers will guide you to the correct area when you turn onto Bella Mar Trail for drop off, available street parking. Do not park in any areas marked in red. We recommend you leave plenty of time to drop off your swimmers in the location(s) indicated and then find parking. We have two drop off zones and both will/may be utilized to keep traffic flowing.
- Parking prohibited in areas marked by traffic cones
- No parking in front of mailbox kiosks
- No parking in front of fire hydrants
- No parking in intersections or the traffic circle
- No blocking or parking in driveways
- See attached parking plan “Drop-off & Parking”
- Parking violations are strictly enforced (i.e. violators will be towed)
- Steiner will have shuttles taking Steiner families from River Ridge Elementary to the pool to allow the closer parking for the guest team. If street parking is unavailable this is a last resort option but we should appreciate their prioritizing our team for the closer street parking if possible.

Pflugerville Piranhas
Gilliland Creek Pool 700 Railroad Ave, Pflugerville, TX 78660
The paved parking lot next to the pool is designated for the visiting teams. Once the paved lot is full, visitors will be allowed to drop off swimmers and belongings next to the pool and then directed to overflow parking in the Back Parking Lot. In previous years we could park at the Lions Club, but they now have a gate preventing access to their property. If the Pool Parking areas get full, instruct your families to use caution when parking in the residental neighborhoods near the pool as towing is a possibility. The Brookhollow Elementary School parking lot (north on Railroad Drive) is the best option.
- Do not part at the Lion Club! You will be towed.
- Do not part on Railroad Avenue. You will be towed.
- Beware of driveways, mailboxes and fire hydrants when parking on the surface streets to the north of the pool.
