I'm considering doing my first LCM meet this summer. I have access to LC facilities, but currently train on my own and SCY pools are my closest/most convenient options. If I do a meet, I will probably only swim free/*** events. I may entertain a 200IM, but that's highly unlikely ;) What's the best way to prepare for long course in a yards pool? Thank you!

If you dive in to a LCM race without ever having swum long course, before you get half way down the pool you will be wondering "where the heck is the wall"?
Or, in my case, when I swam at my first LC Nationals in 2011 at Auburn as a long course newbie, I was saying on each stroke of my 200 breaststroke, "Are we there yet? ARE WE THERE YET???" Thankfully, I had Allen Stark & Seal Girl cheering me on at the blocks to pullllll me home on that last 50! :whiteflag:
