Hello, what would be the difference of swimming in a pool with 4 ft and 7" depth vs. the regular 6Ft 10". I have some experience with swimmimg and when I have try a shorter depth I felt like the swimmimg was a bit more easy, but I am not sure if this is fact. What would be the technical difference and the difference related to muscles etc.
I haven´t been doing any swimming for some time now and I want to go back to a pool. There is one near the house with that 4ft 72 depth, and another one with 6ft 1022, a bit far away, I need to decide
best regards

Deeper pools are supposed to be faster. In a deeper pool when you turn you can get under your wake. Also a shallow pool apparently can reflect the turbulence back at you. What matters more though I think are the lane ropes and the walls. Good lane ropes can keep your lane calm. For the purpose of training I don't think the depth matters much.
