To convert yards to meters, apply m = yd × 0.9144. For example, 100 yd = 91.44 m, and 1 yd is 0.9144 m.
One yard is 36 inches, and an inch is exactly 2.54 cm, so a yard is exactly 0.9144 m and a meter is about 1.09361 yd. Swimming is where the two meet most: a US short-course pool is 25 yards, which is 22.86 m — not the 25 m of a metric short-course pool.
