My last Team trained summers outdoors in a 50 yard pool. It was interesting.

i've seen a 50 yard pool, my old high school coach was a world class breaststroker in college and they trained in a 50 yard pool. he showed us old pictures of it one day.

ok, who's the idiot!? When have you EVER heard of ANYONE doing Long Course YARDS!? Ive been swimming competitively for 18 years and I personally have NEVER seen a 50 yard pool anywhere. Especially if you are training for a competition in a 50 METER pool...why would you swim in a 50 YARD pool?...if one even existed? So who is the one who looks stupid? YOU!!!!

Anonymous coward... ur comment just made you look stupid. People aren't asking whether it is SC vs LC, they are asking if it is meters vs yards.

Really? Why do you have to hate? Where's the love?
Anonymous Coward January 3 at 9:07pm
why do so many people ask if its meters!!??? Think about it, down and back is a 100 and Gill does a 150 and goes three lenghts...that should tell anyone who knows anything about swimming that its long course meters. Hey pop quiz...when they just go down the pool how far is it!?
tht looks really hard 4 hr bcus @

Gil stovall for 200fly Gold! :)

the 2fly was phelps biggest lock when no one else had ever been under 1:54.5 i believe.....stovall was seeded for trials with a 1:56.0 or somewhere around there i think and by the end of the meet had a personal best of 1:53.

The 2fly has always been phelps' biggest lock. I don't see that changing.

what day is the 2fly final on at the olympics? cuz if phelps has any more events that night he better look out for gil.

I always wanted Davis to beat Phelps but Gil beating phelps would be even cooler (how big an upset would that be?) The way Gil dropped time at trials i wouldnt be completley surprised though.
