Tips on using a very short-course pool?

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!)

  • Are your plans to mainly do open water swims or also pool competitions? If you plan to do pool meets then the shortness of the pool may throw your timing and stroke off.....not to mention the hazards of the stalking seniors.
