This afternoon, the pool where I am swimming was set up for LCM. Usually it is set up for 25 yds. I love to swim 50 meters. I smiled throught out the entire practice! This made me wonder if other peole enjoy different lengths.

I am what Mr. GoodSmith has refered to before as "Turn Dependent".....A condition that has worsened over the years too it appears....So short course is the main preference....I don't really care if it's SCY or SCM .....I want to swim a 400 meter race though in SCM (and an 800 meter as well)....and the closest analogue for SCY is the 500 (or 1000).....I'm not sure yet which one I prefer most between the 400 SCM or the 500 SCY.....But it's nice to have a different short course option in the 400 for middle distance events (and the 800 for middle distance/distance)...and still avoid long course pools like the plague!

p.s. The 200 fly is also much more doable (for me at least) in shortcourse pools rather than in longcourse pools....more opportunity to rest the arms and take advantage of a long glide from an underwater pushoff.
