What time drops unlock D2/D3 Realistic
Each row shows the time required in that event alone to push SR Rating Current from 507 to 600, holding the other three events fixed. Only physiologically reachable drops (≤15% per event) are shown. In practice swimmers improve across multiple events at once, so real progress will lift faster than these single-event deltas suggest.
| Event | Current | Target | Δ |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 Fly SCY | 56.66 | 50.16 | −6.50s |
| 200 Fly SCY | 2:10.80 | 1:54.89 | −15.91s |
