Any pointers from you guys that made the switch to metric?

Rob, I found (me being a metric person and teaching recreational OC in imperial) that a good transition for an "imperial" person to metric (ft to m) is to use the yard as an approximation in order to "visualize" depth or distance for surface swims... That's the way I explain to some of the students who are curious about the metric system and it seems to work.
My 2 hundreds of $ or £ or € or whatever you want.
