Not a Fan of Short Course Meters Season

I'm not a big fan of short course meters meets. Maybe its my American bias, but I prefer the USA Swimming season format with two fairly distinct seasons - SCY (Fall thru Spring) and LCM (Spring/Summer). With limited meets to participate in (especially in the Northeast), I would prefer that the options were not even more diluted by short course meters meets. I would think that many Masters swimmers in the US (who mostly grew up in 25 yard pools) would agree. Just wondering what everybody else thinks.

And it's our only chance to compete virtually against the rest of the world. In fact, I feel like the vast majority of masters meets are in SCY. I'd like more SCM and more LCM meets and a longer LCM season. Our LCM season is really summer only here unless you swim in USA meets.
