Recently I’ve been doing a lot of mixed course training. For example, short course yards for a couple of workouts and then long course meters for a couple of workouts (or even short course meters). While I think it’s advantageous to primarily train in the course you will be racing in for the season, I also think there are benefits to mixed course training. Your opinions?

I hate turns. I wish we practiced in the long course pool all year. If you're going to only swim in 25-yard pools for your whole life, varying courses probably doesn't help you at all. If you plan on competing in different courses, it might be useful to train in a 50m pool once in a while. Just a thought...
