Please not on the Missy thread.


Right. Swimming recruits and their families read BI and this could hurt recruiting.

Actually, I guarantee she will set no world records at our meets. College meets are short course yards (i.e., measured in yards in a 25 yd pool), and only swims in long course meters count for world records (i.e., meters in a 50 meter or 55 yard pool).


Yes there are short course world records. Just like indoor track has it's funky distances and track sizes, so does swimming.

And there are lots of international meets swum short course.

There are international short course meters meets. SCM is rarely swum in the US, and yards, which is swum in NCAA and high school, is never swum outside the US.
