Yesterday I swam in a pool I had never been to before. The pool is 30.5 meters (33.3 yards) long X 20 yards wide. Starting blocks were on the 20 yards.
Why would a pool be built at 30.5 meters? Would you change your workout to accommodate this unusual distance?
My normal 4000 meter workout, turned into 4880 meters. I would like to continue to use this pool,however I will have to put in some serious thinking into my workouts.
__steve__,
nice drills.
sounds like the hotel pool i had to use the 1st day in Riccione to train in because "water polo still using competition pool". after about 14 laps i was dizzy and walked to the sea and did a "lap" (2 lifeguard stations) in the double red flag waves.
the pool at Balmohea TX state park is an interesting one. concrete walls but dirt bottom. perfectly clear down to 22 feet. spring fed.
it is a big "L" shape. its a good 250m if you swim the outside wall and do the full L.
odd pools are "fun" until they get to the point of being tedious.
