POW - Pool Open Water
Pool Open Water (POW) helps bring the joys and challenges of open water swimming to your pool. Traditional open water swimming, alternatively known as marathon swimming, long distance swimming or rough water swimming, is done in oceans, bays, rivers, lakes, dams, rowing basins, canals, channels, fjords and reservoirs around the world.
POW combines the joys, challenges and excitement of traditional open water swimming with the convenience of your swimming pool.
Remove the lane lines in your pool, set four turn buoys near the corners and swim loops (either clockwise or counterclockwise) around the course. Do warm-ups, pulling, kicking, sprints, relays and main sets around the perimeter of your pool.
POW is an enjoyable and educational introduction to traditional open water swimming when the weather is too cold or you do not have access to an open body of water. Swimmers can learn and practice drafting, positioning and turning in the pool and transfer that experience to success in the open water.
