I doubt that you are going to find any programs geared towards a 20 yard pool… (too strange a distance!)
Your plan sounds like your best option given the limitations of your facility. You should add up your yards after practices to make sure that the distance you are swimming is in the ballpark of what the total workout was intended to be.

I don't know what 0-1650 is, but the only pool I have access to is an 18 yrd pool - strangely enough. A yard is slighly longer than a meter, so I just round up for convience and assume each lengh is 20 meters.
Whatever your training plan is, just get close and don't worry about the rest.
Or if you are really into being exact you could always swim a little more or a little less than a full length to match up with your training plan.

Other way around.... a yard is slightly less than a meter. 18 yards is about 16.5 meters.

Yeah I'd say do 20 for the 25s and 60 for the 50s. It's a tough distance to work with.

opps. guess i've been seriously underswimming. oh well. of course, this emphasizes my one of my favorite points, which is don't worry so much about the exactness of training that it doesn't happen. it is more important that you arrange it in a way so that it comes naturally and you keep at it.
I am gonna do this, but my problem is that i'll be using a 20 yd pool and not 25 yd pool. on week one where it says to go 50 yrs and then 25, should i go 60 for the 50 yd laps and then just the 20 yds for the 25 yds? or are there an other swimming programs that'd be better suited for a 20 yd pool?
