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..

I have never had the opportunity to swim a LC pool. I swim SCY regularly. Heck, every once in a while I will swim SCM and it seems long.
Rumor has it that the Y where I swim is planning to start construction on a LCM pool this fall. I say rumor because the same thing has been said for a couple of years now. As you would expect with a Y, funding is an issue.
