We are hitting the road for the winter and heading south, the campgrounds have smaller pools and I will have to rely on a tether to workout/ Am hoping there is a resource somewhere with some workout ideas so I dont die of boredom...any ideas?

we did tether training (short cordz) for breaststroke in College a lot. I still do it as a masters swimmer.
this is the cord I have (resistance level green - don't go too hard on resistance or you won't have fun):

You can do sets like
3x1min smooth, followed by 2x30s fast, followed by 4x10 strokes all out. Break in between each "swim" is 15-30s depending on intensity.
I am not sure there is a resource for workouts like that, but mixing up your speeds and doing "sets" will help you fight boredom. You can also incorporate kick and pull sets, as well as turn and push off sets.
We did tether training during covid in a friends back yard pool. Count your strokes in your current 25 yd pool and use that as a basis. We used 15 strokes per 25 yds, so we did 30 strokes for 50's 60 strokes for 100's etc. You can use your regular pool intervals for tether. And yes you can do all strokes.
