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?
