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.
Where are all those SCM pools going to come from, though? I think the reason most meets are SCY is by far most pools are SCY.
True and that is a limiting factor but there are frequently SCY meets held at facilities that can accomodate SCM too. I'm not saying that we can eliminate SCY, that can not happen until there are enough SCM facilities to fill in but there can be a _much_ lower emphasis on SCY in the US that is there currently.
