You're not a sprinter and you're not a pure distance swimmer. Your 50's & 1500's aren't as great as your 200's, 400's, & 500's. Your 100's aren't shabby. Let the D Divas take those 800's, 1000's, 1500's & 1650's. You're caught in the middle. You've got OK speed, but you can do those longer sets that make pure sprinters ill. You're well conditioned and tend to do well with back to back events. You're in great company, Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte are middle distance swimmers who have excellent 100's but not so great 50's. Man you can train.
This is the middle distance lane. Don't get lapped.

So what is the difference between 500 SCY and 400 SCM? .....please don't say 4 lengths or 60 yards - is it a truly different race?
Good question - the 4/4/5 is one of my favorites, and yes they are different, but I'm not sure I can really explain the difference.
Here is an interesting comparison between by fast 400scm time last december and my fastest 500 time this spring:
conversions in []
400 (4:29.49) : 104.77 ; 109.09 ; 108.24 ; 107.39
500 (5:02.67) : 56.14 ; 102.17 ; 102.60 ; 102.27 ; 59.49
