Advice for a teen club swimmer

LCM meet coming up in a little more than a month. Granddaughter is listening to her teammates complain about swimming LCM. She is now making negative statements about how poorly she is going to swim because the pool is LCM and outside. I'm afraid she is setting up a self-fulfilling prophecy. What would you say to her? Thank you!

  • glad she enjoyed her LC meet! Long Course IS real swimming. I love love love LCM! Growing up in Europe I never knew how somebody came up with a 25 yards pool. Waaaaayyyy to short. You do 2 strokes and have to turn again. Having swam through College in this beautiful country I unfortunately had no other choice but to improve my turns.
