Is it just me or do world records in short course meters lack the prestige of world records in long course? And are the 50's just not as big a deal as the longer races? Maybe I'm just showing my age?
SCM to the USA is about the same interest level as rugby for most people...sadly USMS has not moved to embrace the format by designating a Championship meet....but maybe some day!
Go back a few years and if you have a chance to talk to anyone who swam or attended NCAA's the one time it was held SCM you will here a different opinion...for those that want to measure themselves against the rest of the world that is what "fall/early spring" swimming is all about.
