there are 2 sides to this coin.
1) scy because its typically the big scy meet of the year - time to break scy records
2) scm because its a chance for other records
now for that edge it could always land on ;)
well over 99% of the pools in the usa can be 25scy. which means we all get to train it.
scm pools are rare. very rare. usually poor in design (ie either a tiny gutter or that completely idiotic euro flat wall) and not made for fast swimming. and coupled with a facility that is poor too. the lcm facilities that can do scm may not be able to do 2 scm courses (because of bulkhead size) and a big meet like usms nats needs 2 pool courses. in the usa scm is a novelty. if you want a true world ranking do it the real way -> LCM (the only way they swim the Olympics)!!!
