50m vs endless pool (Page 2)

Baowolf - 2008-10-07 7:50 PM The swimspa I am getting has a program for interval work, you can do a speed workout with up to 9 diffent speeds per workout and run different workout patterns. So you warm up at 1.5 mph for 10 min, then get into a grove at 2mph or whatever for 5 minutes then go wherever you want from there and drop a cool down at the end. It has 99 settings up to 4 mph in equal gradations. Anyway I will put a post up once I get it and try it out. It sounds like fun to me, but it won't be OWS. But then there will be ice on the lake in a month or so, brrr. Using the mph of the water and time swimming you can calculate distance based on the speed settings. I am not sure how sophisticated your gym's swimspa is. For you I would think the access would be key and the feel (like to do flip turns or don't, get boored easily or don't, like to just get into a grove and go forever or like the feedback of the end of the pool). It all comes down to your preferences.
