Given financial realities for a lot of schools, there is a good chance that a decent portion of any new construction is going to be of the 6 to 8 lane, 25 yard variety of pool.
This makes sense, but I've seen lots of new 50 meter pools going in. Just in your neck of the woods off the top of my head: Iowa, Ohio State, Kenyon and the aquatic center in Holland are all new 50 meter pools. Also Jenison high school. It seems like lots of communities are thinking if they are going to build a new pool they might as well build it right.
