Thanks to every one who replied. Yes I feel very comfortable in the pool alone. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a dumb, newby idea. My big skills to practice are 1) buoyancy, 2) trim, 3) Fin technique, learn frog kick, etc., 4) other basic skills.
I just got back from Bonaire and I found that my buoyance wasn't always under control and when I was filmed by a buddy I realize I was swimming with fee way down about 30 degrees low. Blew me away (I thought I was level).
IMO-------Yes, do it all the time.......I find it's a great place to work in new camera equipment/settings--etc......

Not good to be alone in a pool. Get a friend you can practice with, or at least someone in the area to be alert to any issues you might have. Safety first.

It is no problem at all in my area. No cert checks, just ask and pay admission.
