Heya All:
My regular coach is leaving our group & it is time for a change. I'll be going on Monday to another of our team's practice pools that has a great coach & workout group. Difference is that I've been swimming all short-course yards (SCY) so far and this pool is always configured long-course meters (LCM.)
I've not swum in an LCM pool decades. More than three it seems.
Any tips, comments, funny stories about making such a change? :)
I know stamina is an issue that is critical and kicking becomes even more important. What else do y'all know about it? All I remember from my high school & college days was that at the beginning of summer season the pool looked reeeeealllllly looooooong.
I was thinking the same as Calvin. This is a fantastic time to work on your stroke, making it more efficient, really feeling every piece of it. Try some new things out. If the pool is always LCM, you might want to work on your turns about once/month since you'll only be getting half of them. Or, again, really work them hard since you're getting fewer. Good luck! It's so much fun!
