I've normally swum in a SCY pool, but for the summer I can only do that twice a week and use a shallow 20 yard pool 1-2 times a week. Does anyone have any workouts or advice for practices in such a short pool? I have noticed that I do not get as tired in the 20 yard pool and that my strokes tend to get worse after using the 20 yard pool for a while (having to swim in such a shallow pool creates larger waves that really toss me around).

I also have trained in a short pool-15 yards or 20 yards for the past three years in a health club. I started last month once a week at a 25 yard pool and continue to do 2 or 3 times in the shorter pool as well. Like they stated before work on kick and do 5 laps for 100 and do both 60's and 40's for speed. Also, in the shorter pool you can try to do harder strokes like butterly more since its their are more turns. At first the 25 yard pool seemed long. Good Luck.
