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..

Know what? I'll bet that if they had underwater microphones, you might very well hear something like that.
I know that when I push it, I tend to grunt or growl on my exhales.
It might make an interesting "flavor" for TV swimming coverage if they miked the pool.
