Subject: Swim Training In a 10 meter Pool
I travel quite frequently and most hotel pools that I encounter are very small.  I would be interested in suggestions for training.  I am not really interested in using the stationary slings.  Thanks for any advice.

Sometimes you get them to yourself and you can swim around the perimeter - it's useful practice for swimming around buoys, having your rhytmn broken up.

You could also use a pull buoy and do one armed drills and a kick board for kicking

That's the best I've been able to manage in the annoying little puddles.

Don't touch the walls (no pushing off). The turn is a little awkward but you get used to it (kind of). Its not that bad actually as you'll be surprised how tiring digging out at the start of each lap can be after 100 of them.

I practice a ton of deep water starts in that situation.  Tread water, get in your stroke, 2 strokes, tread water, repeat.
