Most of the time I just swim in my 10m long pool at home. With so much turning back and forth off the walls is there even a point of doing flip turns (or even possible since on one end the water is about 3 feet deep)? What is the quickest, most efficient way of turning around?
Also, say I was to swim 1000m continuously in this pool, with all the turning, would the 1000m even realistically simulate swimming 1000m in a short/long course pool?
what are you training for?
3) try tethered swimming
get surgical tubing attach
one end to something sturdy next to the pool and
the other end to a belt around your waist
then swim in place against the resistance
I second this idea. When I was working in India, the hotel pool was not the best for lap swimming. but I knew that before I went, so I brought a stretch cord swimming belt.
I was able to get in 30-40 minutes of swimming in the mornings. and then again in the afternoons.
