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!

LCM, naturally.
The stuff that Gods from Olympia (were?) are made of.
or to please the grammatically correct and not be accused
of murdering the English language:
The stuff of which Gods from Olympia (were?) are made.
(Even Neptune was inferior to Zeus)
I think I'm better at SCY, but I love long course. After swimming in SCY pools for so long, LC feels great. I'm tired of flip turns. I can just cruise along. I love me a nice LC 50 sprint. No freaking out about whether I'll blow the turn. Just go fast. Did my first long course workout on Sunday. Very fun! Although I do miss all the SDKs.
i like to train SCY just because I am so used to it I could swim with my eyes closed and have a pretty good idea where the walls are. that being said, SCM is nice for the much easier top 10 times .. :)
I learned competition in a 20-yard pool, so more turns are better. I'm still trying to learn how to swim but the turns are pretty good.
My favorite cours is SCM, since very few people swim it. You may note that there is (as of today) only one vote for this course. That's my contribution.
I loved mixing swimming OW with LCM before I moved. My SCY pool I'm in is like a bath tub. Push off (turn) repeat... It seems like that's all you do is turn. Since I don't do flip turns, I have another reason to hate SCY.:dedhorse:

I'll take my wildlife in a zoo, thank you very much! Wildwood is not a favorite shore town, but I'll watch the weather and if it's nice maybe my arm can be twisted...
