scy vs lcm

Warren, I'll bet you will get lots of advice/experiences on this one. For me, my backstroke swims felt better in short course and my times were faster. But in long course, my freestyle fared much better than short course. I'll think about it and see if I can figure it out. But when these swims were taking place, I couldn't figure it out then, either. Maybe it had something to do with the turns taking more energy from me in long course freestyle, and the turns in backstroke short course aided me. Maybe I was on my way to truly being a distance freestyle swimmer and just didn't realize it back then, so this may be why the long course felt better in freestyle. That my new calling was trying to surface itself. Hmmmmmm... Donna
