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.

It always seems to me that I am swimming faster in the shallow end of the pool. The closer you are to the pool bottom the faster your eyes are going to perceive your travel speed. I suspect that lane ropes, pool gutters, and filtration/pump systems have more effect on actual swimming speed than pool depth.
