[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok I know this is a basic question but what is the difference between LCM and SCY? Is one yards and one meters?
What difference does the “summer” component make. Does the “S” stand for summer or “short”.
I am confused!! Help?[/quote]

LCM: long course meters - 50M pool length - Olympics and typically summer club season races
SCY: short course yards- 25y pool length - winter club, college, high school races
SCM: short course meters - 25M pool length - summer swim leagues[/quote]

To add to this, occasionally a summer pool will be SCY but it’s rare. Also, when looking at a single event (e.g. 50 free) a swimmer’s times from fastest to slowest will be SCY &lt; SCM &lt; LCM. SCM times are faster then LCM because the turns really help. LCM is like real swimming lol. Different swimmers will be better at different courses. People with good starts and turns will like short course better. People with long strokes will like long course. I liked short course for freestyle because turns were where I could beat people (I did middle distance — 200 and 500). But for breast (my best event) I was relatively better at long course because I could lengthen my strokes and get into a rhythm without feeling like I was (literally) hitting a wall every few strokes. Plus 7 pullouts are killer in a 200 short course breast. [/quote]
