Your Favorite Course

OK, folks, we're officially switching over from SCY to LCM season this week. What is your favorite POOL course? Short Course Yards, Short Course Meters, or Long Course Meters??? Feel free to explain your reasoning!

    I don't really have a favorite, but: We train LCM all year long, but only do one or two meets per year, so I like to swim long course meets because it makes the training feel worthwhile. I like to train SCY because the pool feels so short after all the LCM training. Unfortunately, it doesn't help me swim any faster. Eight laps for a 200 sucks too, as SwimStud will attest. SCM only has a few meets in our area, but since few people swim it, I tend to make a top 10 here and there, so that's always fun! Sorry Swimmy--I'm a chlorine girl! Only swim with the fishes once a year and that is plenty enough for me. Dana
