i'm totally lost as to how much i should swim in my pool

hey my name's anika. i've pretty much grown up in the ocean and had a pool my whole life, but i've never swam for sport or exercise. my pool is 30 ft long and 8 ft deep.. how much do i need to swim to get a very good workout? help please! :bow: It's going to be awfully hard to do any meaningful swimming in a 10 yard pool. If that's all you have, maybe some sort of tether/bungee system so you don't get loopy from flip turns every 12 seconds. Vertical kicking would be good in 8 feet of water.
