Right, sorry - Short Course Meters to Short Course Yards.

There are 3 types of pools for swimming - Long Course (LCM) which is the Olympic Pool measuring 50 meters for 1 lap. There is the typical Short Course Yards (SCY) which is 25 yards per lap, and there are a few Short Course Meters (SCM) pools around that are 25 meters per lap (this is the pool that Frogman's kids swim in up in Canada). Interestingly, there a few SCM pools in the ODAC, probably because they were built during the period of time when the US was going to convert to the metric system in the 70s.
