  We test the refined swampland distance conjecture in the Kahler moduli space
of exotic one-parameter Calabi-Yaus. We focus on examples with pseudo-hybrid
points. These points, whose properties are not well-understood, are at finite
distance in the moduli space. We explicitly compute the lengths of geodesics
from such points to the large volume regime and show that the refined swampland
distance conjecture holds. To compute the metric we use the sphere partition
function of the gauged linear sigma model. We discuss several examples in
detail, including one example associated to a gauged linear sigma model with
non-abelian gauge group.
