This may be a starnge or even stupid question, but after reading athoyles question about the size of the pool i was wondering how the length of the pool affected your times? For example if you train in a 20m pool and do 400m in 7 minutes will you be slower or faster in a larger pool?

I have been wondering the same, as I use a local pool which is only 20M long.
As you do, am trying to work out how my 1500M (75L) and how it could measure to open water.
I don't tumble, but do push off at the wall. Am interested in the 3% point actuallly.
I have been thinking that you lose out with rhythm on the shorter course but as said you gain from the turning and pushing at the wall. Plus on the open course you have the advantage of a wetsuit and drafting.
A lot of pro's and con's...would be interested to hear other opinions..
