Alternative Swimming Pool (and Alternative Swimming Distance)

My gym's pool currently looks like this:

So I headed to a different gym to swim earlier this week. That pool looks like this:

Post-swim at the Eagan YMCA.

A funny thing happened there. I did a longer warm-up and didn't do any math to figure out if I was swimming fast or slow. And then I went into a very common workout: 6x200.

Doing 200s is my MOST common swim workout in about the past 8 years of training. For my 200s, 3:0x is fast, 3:14 is around average (these days... used to be faster), and anything near 3:20 is slow. So I did a triple-take at my watch when my first 200 clocked in at 3:34! I honestly thought I was just having a rough day during my first rest period. But when I started my 2nd 200, I counted strokes / length of the pool. Normally, I'm at 27-29, but suddenly I was at 33-35 strokes....

Ahhh.... it was my first 25 METER pool when I'm used to 25 YARD pools.

The rest of the workout went well, even though I had no idea what sort of times I was swimming.
