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!

What about weird courses? I've swum in a 35 yard pool before.
George (Geochuck) will probably know which pool I'm talking about.
The Lido pool at the Gezirah Club in Cairo, Egypt (built during the British occupation 1935), was 33 1/3 yards. I can't remember the width's measurement but back when I used to swim (early 60's) and did the freestyle turn on a back somersault, the width was a push, one stroke (half a cycle), turn on your back and flip and push off and repeat.
