These times are amazing:
Kyle van Niekerk - 13 year old!
His results were as follows:
100m Free: Gold in a winning time of 53.89 – New African and South African AG Record
50m Free: Gold in a winning time of 24.69 – a New African and South African AG Record and the fastest recorded time in the world for 13- year- olds during 2011.
Yes these are long course meters. Puts it all in perspective for us geezers :cane:

I'll bet there are a few here in there in the UK and Canada, built back when the Imperial system was still dominant.
I am sure there are some but I don't know of any pools that are only 25 yards in BC. At Universities at UBC their 50m indoor pool when setup for widths part is 25m and part is 25y. They also have a 55 yard outdoor pool. At UVic they have an L shaped pool which is 25m or 25y depending on how they setup the lane ropes. One of the public pools near me looks like it might have been converted from 25y to 25m from the turn markings on the bottom. We also have a 150 yard outdoor pool in Vancouver.
