Hello!
There is one thing about competitive swimming that I've been having trouble with and I need some advice.
I absolutely love competing in yards - did it in middle school, high school, and college. I didn't start swimming LCM until high school and I've been almost "scared" of it ever since then. When I swim in a yard pool (or even a SCM pool) - I'm fine and I feel fast. When I get in a LCM pool... I feel so SLOW and like someone is holding me back. I don't know if I'm playing head games with myself or what. Water is water. I feel like a different swimmer in a LCM pool and I don't like it. I almost dread practicing in one - why would a swimmer do that? I love swimming!?!?!?! If anyone has experienced this - I'd really appreciate some words of wisdom!
Thanks!

I feel like the most staggering difference between a 50m and 25y pool is in 200s. All that time underwater in the 200y free, I can almost sprint the whole way. But in a 200 M - No WAY! I know two guys who are both 1:57 in 200 M free. One is a 1:40 in 200 yards, the other is a 1:43. What a difference!
