So glad to be back in metric land. I was just getting dizzy swimming in yard pools. I usually swim in either 25m or 33m pools which are really great for a good work out. Here is something I lifted from another site.
Totally Agree with this:
1. Much more continuous swimming. Half as many walls to turn at, simulating open water swimming better than a shorter pool.
2. More time to focus on your technique while you swim without interruptions.
3. Training is slightly more challenging, resulting in better preparation for an open water race (or any swim race).
Stats:
25 Meters = 27.34 Yards
25 Yards = 22.86 Meters
25 Meters = 75 Feet
25 Yards = 82.02 Feet
The difference is not much looking at numbers but when your down in it you will notice you lost about 2 or 3 strokes. Which makes a bit of difference in my book when doing long distance swimming.
