I train "alone" at the pool. I agree with Jome that knowing your limits is the first key and and staying a good margin away from them is the second key.
I do 2x25m lenghts (50m total) on 90 sec intervals. My PB is 125m.
I will do these 2x25m for 30 min or 45 min, sometimes 1 hour, I find them quite relaxing and also find that if I swim faster they are harder and if I swim slower they are easier so can moderate the pace if I am feeling off. Sometimes I add an extra 30 second recovery period every now and then if I feel pushed at all.
I also very occasionaly do PB dynamic at the pool if it is empty. I ask the lifeguard who I know to walk beside me at the side of the pool. I turn over and swim upside down to make sure he is there and feel safe enough then.
I don't ever do wet statics at the pool as I don't feel it fair to the lifeguard as they wouldn't know if I was in trouble or not (seems that way to me anyway).
Anyway be safe and if you feel you need to push yourself definitely do so with a partner!!
