I have never swam in lcm before but I plan to this summer. What adjustments should I make to training for lcm in a scm pool?

Way back, I faced the same situation as you: fresh to masters, training only in scm pool, think I'll enter a LC meet, why this meet looks interesting...USLCNats, hmmm, it can't make that much of a difference and I do have lousy turns (then) so it should be in my favour...NOT. I discovered, through pain, that my nice slow turns in scm were a resting point form - like having training wheels taken off suddenly. So work on your turns, even though you'll do less of them.
Plus, train over-distance 75's, 150's, etc.
