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.
I swim in a 20 yard pool at the Y in Park Slope, Brooklyn. If I am practicing my 50 sprints, I just turn them into 60s and then the 50s seem easier. The only downside is that too much of the swim is turning. A bit excessive, but it's not terrible. I am looking forward to them opening the new 25 yard pool in the fall.
