I got back into multi sport racing this year and did pretty well considering I did not practice swimming at all (not exaggerating). My swim times are still FOP for local races depending on the distance (I've had fastest swim split in some races, and in others I've been top 15 out of 100-200 participants or so.), but not very competitive for bigger-type regional or bigger named events. The only gym with a pool that is reasonably close to me and reasonably priced is only 20 yards in length. I went to test it out two nights this week to see if I wanted tp spend the $30 a month for a membership... and 20 yards is interesting.. it's like 4-5 three stroke breaths (new to swim terminology?) then a flip turn... repeat, etc.
My question to you, STers... if I go to the gym and swim 2-4 days over fall/winter/spring swimming in a 20 yard pool... is it likely that when it comes race season 2019 I may see some swim gains? or will they be marginal-ish?
In other words... I'm asking you to tell me if it's worth my time and money to go swim in this pool?
