If I recall correctly, it used to be possible to qualify for Trials in SCY and SCM. Now you can only qualify in LCM. So the times may not have changed, but it's still tougher to qualify if you're a short course specialist or don't have long course meets in your area.
This is actually a good thing. I remember several people qualifying for Trials in SCY and yet not being near the qualifying time in LCM. Or, they just go to Trials even if they didn't train for it. Now, you have to do the time in LCM and thus, there will be some hard work behind. I say bravo to USA Swimming for putting their foot down. Also, the Olympics are in LCM, not Yards!
