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!

I agree with GeoChuck about the different types of training in a current pool.
I was just stating in my initial post that I discovered that when I swam after work, I was often lazy and would set the current speed at a moderate warm-up speed and wouldn't bother to change it.
I recently started incorporating some kicking and sculling into my workouts, and need to think how I want to train. I have become too used to a coach telling me what to do at practice over the years.
