Generally fewer people swim LCM so it stands to reason that the times are a little softer.
Lack of LCM pools is probably another factor.
Agree. But the fact is fewer people have swum LCM the last two years (could be the recession, I know). And times among the regular competitors are relatively slower since 2009. Possibly the suits gave more of an assist in long course than short course.
