I'm back at school now and it feels so much better swimming at my schools pool than at my local Y becasuse my school pool has a 13 feet deep end. the Y is shallow, its 3 feet on one end.
Deep water is so much better than shallow water.
I also think what Lindsay says is true about having to get underneath your own water at the turns. Can't be done in a 3' pool. this is probably more significant than anything.
This leads to an interesting question... since many of us are stuck with our 3 - 3.5 depths at one end and have to deal with it...
Is it more efficient to try to center your push-off within the incoming water stream, or try to angle off to a side (which I would think would throw off your mechanics as you adjust to the uneven flow)?
