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!

After looking at the swim jets, they seem pretty cool. It'd take a bit to get used to them but it'd sure be easier to clean, cheaper to heat, etc.
The problem with a pool 'll only get about 10yds of actual swimming in. The rest is just pushoff/kick. You'd end up wanting to join a club :(.
