I live in a condo building. There is an indoor pool that measures 11.3 metres (I counted up the floor tiles and multiplied by one's length :)
I also have a pass to a local 25 metre pool, because 11.3 metre laps are pretty stinkin' short.
I was wanting, though, to stay home and use the condo pool once or twice a week.
Suggestions on what I can do in there? Not deep enough for diving, unfortunately.
I'd thought of doing lots of turn practice, and some very short sprints, but after that I'm stuck.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Heather (doing a 5K open water swim Sunday all breaststroke - think happy thoughts!)

Learn to pop up early on your turns in order to get more air and more practice actually swimming. Underwater dolphins are in, but they aren't necessary. Fred Bousquet, the short course 50m world record holder, comes up much sooner than his competition off the turn. If you want to do breaststroke, you could skip the underwater pulldown.
