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 swam for a summer league team that had a 20yd pool when I was a kid. The drag suits definitely helped and I tended to have better turns than my competition. Work on those. I found that by the time I was 15 and swimming 100s rather than 50s that workouts involving sprinting 120s (6 laps) really helped my 100 times when we had away meets.
