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
Charlie
Charlie, I can't believe they are asking you all to pay for this. I'll come help you do it for free. Their blocks aren't that hard to move and, although the lane lines hurt when you hit them, they should be super simple to change over. In fact, my team, which also practice at your pool, change our pool from 50m to 25 yards after every practice in the summer. We take out 9 50 m lane lines and put in 10 25y lane lines while the lifeguards move the bulkheads. Can you talk to the mayor about this one? I know how supportive he is with the team.
And if you need me, call, I'll come help move things around.
When is this meet, by the way?
