Hello,
I am in the process of designing a new pool for my backyard. I have room and budget for a lap lane of 50 to 60 ft. After designing the details of the pool with the lead engineer, he suggested a swim jet as an alternative for me that would allow a cheaper (smaller) pool construction cost.
Does anyone have experience with these type of products from a true swimmers point of view? I have a hard time believing the jets can really reproduce the same workout/resistances as a full lap lane, but I'm open to suggestions. I do swim all strokes at a decent swim rate. I do not want to be "held back" by a weak water stream, or wishing I had done the full lap lane instead.
Thanks!

When planning a workout for a swim - in - place pool, use your heart rate as a basis to determine the type of workout you wish to do.... Aerobic, Aenerobic or Max Vo2..
To begin your workout - 4 min warmup strokes of your choice, rest 30 seconds.
Then swim 9 minutes take a 60sec rest, then swim 8 min - swim 7 min - swim 6 min - swim 5 min - swim 4 min - swim 3 min - swim 2 min - swim 1 min (resting 60 seconds between swims)
Finish with a 4 minute cooldown. This workout takes takes 60 minutes then a 2 minute calf stretch
