Hey, I would like to get some advice and ideas for building this pool.
The proyect is very advanced already, but there are many things that are not finished.
So, we are planing on building 2 pools
1) Main pool:
25 x 16.5 meters
minimin depth: 1.35 meters
Max depth: 2.00 meters
2) Second pool
4.5 x 16.5 meters
Depth: 1.20 meters
I already read the FINA rules
www.fina.org/.../index.php
But there is this one rule I missed the first time I read it:
"Lanes shall be at least 2.5 metres wide, with two spaces of at least 0.2 metre outside of the first and last lanes"
We actually planed 8 lanes, 2.0 meters wide, and 0.5 metre outside of the first and last lanes.
This is very much the only thing that wont comply with the rules, I don't know if it's worth it to change the design to 20.4 x 25 meters since it makes it a lot more expensive.
Also, I would like to hear ideas about locker rooms, we are planing on building 4 of them, 2 for adults and 2 for childrens, with diferent showers and lockers.
We have some dificulties planing the access control system since the locker rooms will be also used by people that won't have permited access to the pool.
That's about it, any suggestions, ideas, or things you would like to change in the pool your are currently swimming are very welcome.

It would definitely be a much larger pool. Their current configuration gives a pool with a volume of approximately 691 cubic meters. A 25m X 25yd pool with the same depth would be 957 cubic meters, so almost 40% larger by volume.
yeah but OP was consideing a 20.4m wide pool. Whats 2 more meters to make 25y? To be honest though... why bother with meters at all unless you're going to 50? In the states theres almost no point in scm pools imo i was just offering options to preserve the odd notion of wanting 25m length being available.
I did forget the touchpad thickness though. Awesome point, Rob.
