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!

Yeah, you're probably right. But what about vicious, biting ducks?
Even if you don't find them threatening, imagining the little buggers chasing behind you trying to bite your toes will probably make you giggle, giving you a nice burst of positive happiness energy to help you to the other end of the pool.
