Why is a LCM pool five times longer than SCY?

First day yesterday back in the local long course pool. That first LC swim is always a rude awakening. You get to concentrate on your swimming a great deal more, which is a plus, but wow, where is that wall??? Does anybody else feel like crap on that first day, or am I just a big wuss? (Yes, I know, these are not mutually exclusive statements; the "or" isn't really warranted. Humor me.) Have never swum a LC meet in my life, but plan to do several this summer. Anybody got any magic spells to shorten the pool?

  • I hate when people at practice look at you with amazement that you can do a full LCM lap of fly without stopping or doing the "one arm butterfly thing". I understand that it is a compliment but really, it is no big deal. Has anyone seen a 100 meter or yard pool that I heard were around in the early 1900s? Talk about fun swimming!
