Best Answer

The distance you swim in a pool is the same distance you would swim in open water. The difference is the difficulty. With open water swimming, the swimmer has to face waves, an undiverted wake, and air temperature; where as, a swimmer in a pool has lane lines to dissolve wake, a fixed temperature, and calm water.
