Training SCY for LCM races

Hello all, I train at UC (Cincinnati), and I train hard every day. The problem is (at least I think it's a problem) that long course is only available three days a week out of the seven that I swim. My question is, what kinds of swims do I do in yards that could condition my body for the stresses of long course races? I swim all breaststroke distances (prefer the 50 and 100, but the 200 is probably my best), and sprint freestyle (just the 50 at nationals). I am doing a lot of sprint work and kick work which I think will benefit my 50 and 100 breaststroke and freestyle, but I am a little worried that I won't be aerobically ready for the 200 when it is time to race. Simply speaking :P, there are just too many turns in a 200 yard breaststroke to mimic one set in LCM. If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it! Thanks! Alex M.

  • sorry all you us swimmers, but london is only for european. I am in an airport, typing on my phone. I can't copy/paste the reply I got from London right now. But yeah. Only for Europeans. There is one loophole. You could be a US resident and a member of a European club. But you have to be a member for 12 months. Since London is less than 12 months away, it's already too late to try that trick. Dagnabbit.
