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 can always tell 25 m from 25 y with my stroke count. Just do a couple of pace 50's and you'll see a time difference as well, provided you know your 25 y pace 50 times!
I think the change from 25y to 25 is more psychological than physical. You just need to get used to the wall not being where you're used to it :p
