Some time ago there was an article in Swim Magazine about Masters Swimmers who had there own workout pools at home. I am trying to find that article but have been unable to so far.
I have a cousin in Northern California who is considering doing that in his home. As I recall, the article discussed an above ground 25 yard pool that I think Angel Martino had put in for her use. This type of pool might be the best solution for my cousin.
Does anyone remember this? What issue of Swim Magazine was this in or do you remember the manufacturer of the above ground pool?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!!!

The Endless Pool can provide sprint speed current; however, it's definitely tricky to do short spurts of sprint training in such a pool. It's not that you might hit your head, but often people turn the current up to full blast thinking it would be easy to jump into the stream and swim but many times people are surprisingly blasted into the back end of the pool. I often allow people to do demo swims in my pool and it's fun to watch the overly confident swimmers give it a try and see them thrown into the back of the pool.
