It will have a current generator, which can be set to varying flow rates, depending on how fast I can swim. No turning around at the end of a lap, which will be much more like open water swimming.Well your swimming is an excellent exercise for the upper body, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Is your new pool going to have one of those wave machines in it? It looked a little short in the photo for triathalon training (not that I know anything about swimming--I just like to splash about).
