We have a 25 meter by 25 yard pool and we are asking the pool management to switch the normal yard direction to meters for a meter meet.
They want to charge us $1,400 to cover the costs of moving 4 starting blocks, (we only need four because we are doing a relay meet) all the lane lines and flags. Yikes!
We said we would move the lines and flags. We think $300 would be high but we would pay it. They said they don't want us to move the lines for insurance purposes.. (silly)
Does anyone have experience with this so we can come to a better number?
What would your pool charge for this service?
thanks

At the public pool I swim at, there are 2 adult swims a day that are 50 meter with lane markers. One at 11 am where the lane markers are usually already in from the morning swim team (and the evening swimmers) and the other at 8:15 pm.
the rest of the day, there are 4 lanes of 25 yards with lane markers. it takes 15 minutes (it should take only 5-10 but the teenage guards are in no great hurry to move the lanes for the 8:15 swim). There are no starting blocks moved as the starting blocks are already in the 50 meter length of the pool and I don't recall if the backstroke flags are available in the 25 yard lengths.
Cost to the swimmers--nothing.
