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.

  • After 30 years jumping back into a LCM will be very interesting. Danny Jones pool? Momentum feels compromised at about the 40m point, and if you’re lactate intolerant expect a surprise, especially with kick sets. I once took just a 50 free out to hard in LCM. It was my first such race and I can’t forget it
