I'm gonna go against what everyone else is saying. I would say try it out. I have no clue what type of swimmer you are, or how strong of a swimmer you are. Swim back and forth for 10 minutes, can you get your heart rate up? Or are you spending half your time just gliding from pushing off the walls? If you are spending half your time pushing off the walls, time to go to a public pool for workouts or get a swimming tether/machine. If you can get your heart up, and feel you are getting a good workout, enjoy your pool.
