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've been adapting the daily workouts for a 20 m pool that I have access to while on travel. As long as your not a distance person, its not too difficult to just "pretend" its a 25 and your really fast :) I tend to drop sets that are longer that 300's because I tend to get dizzy and have trouble counting. for stoke, IM or drill work where swims are broken into 25 - I use the pretend its a 25 rule. Otherwise, I hit the regular disatance and adjust the number of intervals to wind up at the end of the pool that has the clock.
