I don't understand something, or actually a few things.
After getting my latest Swimmer magazine I saw all these names of swimmers that have done some great things. (congrats)
What is the difference between all-stars & all-americans?
Also what is the difference between SCM, SCY, LCM & what does it all mean?
I feel kinda dense for not knowing these things though. :confused:

SCY = Short Course Yards, 25 yard pool, most commonly found pool in the US
SCM = Short Course Meters, 25 meter pool, rare is US common abroad Worlds are held either LCM (getting to that) or SCM
LCM = Long course meters, 50 meter pool, what the Olympics are contested in ... you'll find a fair amount of outdoor LCM pools
