Cross Training In My Backyard Pool

I have been wanting to do some cross training (other then biking) for sometime now and swimming would be a good candidate. I live in Florida and have an in ground pool that is 12 x 20 hardly long enough (5 feet deep at the deep end) to swim laps.

Until now I found this Fancy gadget online its called the zura stationary swimmer. Apparently you just attach the cuffs to your legs and attach the cord to the side of the pool and jump in and start swimming your pool is now an endless pool.

I'm going to budget for this as being able to swim long sessions is a runners dream for cross training.
As for my running did 3 miles this morning at an average 10:31 pace (used 3/1 approach again) and it felt great!!
