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!

You guys are scaring me. Last year I did it and I swam only the 50 meter *** and 100 meter and I had a big built up of Lacid acid. Now, this time I'm trying the 200 meter frestyle and the 200 meter ***. As a kid I swam three summers long course in my 8 year career in workout. The first year I was on noive teams that only swam one meet and I was only 11-12 and swam 50 meter races. The next two years, I swam on a team that had a 25 meter pool and the coach was from Scotland and built his pool 25 meters. The next team was more elite and I workout long course two summers and the next team was a little worst than that one and I workout long course. The next team used a 25 yard high school pool and my last two years of swimming I mainly swam community college working out 25 yards. Returning I workout in 25 yards and 15 yards.
