I have a bit of a quandary with my upcoming 1-hour Postal swim. As I've been training for it, I've concentrated on hitting certain yardage (meters) at specific times. However, for whatever reason, at the SCM pool that I swim at about 99% of the time, there won't be a Postal swim conducted this year. I had to sign up for a time-slot at another nearby pool...that I've never actually swam in. It's a rather new facility at a local college. I was under the assumption that it too is a 25 SCM pool. So no big deal. But I just found out that it's a SCY pool. So my question is...other than the obvious of doing the math to convert from meters to yards to determine where I want to be at certain times...is there anything else that I should be considering? Should I just throw out my planned time/distance milestones from the SCM pool and just "go for it" in the SCY pool?

Argh, Argh! Double freakin' argh! I couldn't complete an hour Tuesday because kids overran the pool at the YMCA, so today I decided to go to a different fitness center where there are two pools, a kids activity pool and a separate lap pool. As I'm closing in on 2000 yds there was an "incident" in the kiddie pool causing the staff to close it for cleaning, so again 40-50 kids decided to join us in the lap pool. I gave up. One more chance next Tuesday.
