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!)

... unfortunately, my condo is primarily a seniors' building (even though I'm 33 :) and some of the older ladies saw me with the tether once and threw hissy fits... I was actually followed up to my apartment to see where I lived.
I tethered it to the ladder and checked VERY carefully - no damage at all.
I found it difficult to do fly or breaststroke on the tether, though.
But maybe I should monitor the pool and find times when there's nobody else around (which is most of the time!) and just go for it again. :)
As for the suggestion about shortening up my turns... I'd always thought I should make them LONGER?
