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'll be there - not doing any of your events, though. I think I am doing all the breaststroke events and the 100 fly. I did my first open water swim today - 2K and it was fun. Hope to see you at t-hills. --mj Now I wish I had entered a breaststroke event! I'm glad I haven't sent in my entry form for Northwest LCM Zones yet. I might enter the 200 ***. It took 3:09 to make top ten in my age group last year... I think I can do that, although... I've never done 200 *** in LCM... I've done triathlons, but I've never done an open water swimming race. I've been considering entering Fat Salmon this year though. Hope to meet you next week!
