Turning Around

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? I would have to say it would not simulate a regular pool very well. You could either get the surgical tubing suggested earlier, or you can add a George Park RiverPool or Endless pool current to any existing pool. They both have a drop in model that can be added. I'm going to do one when I build my pool soon. You'll have to put it in your deep end, as I don't think 3 feet is deep enough. I plan on getting my distance swims in there, and still going to a 25 yard pool for stuff you can't simulate swimming in place.
