I have been wondering about differences in pool lengths and competition issues between short course yards, and meters, and LCMs...
I train in a short course yard pool, but had my first meet in a 25 meter pool. I didn't notice too much of a difference, and it didn't bother me. I am interested in doing more meets, but there are only a couple of short course meets, and more long course meets in the area.
Is it suicide to train in a 25 yd pool then go to a long course 50 meter meet? has anyone done this before? I am interested in going for fun, and just to see the difference..

Amanda Beard had only trained LCM twice before the 96 Olympic trials ... Realize that it'll be harder but that you can do it ... sounds like you have the right attitude.
At about 20 yards you will be wondering where the wall is ... however on the flip side of this if you start training LCM and then go to SCY you will think wow the wall is here already. THAT is a great feeling!
