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.

If this is a pool that everyone can use--you might want to consider what are "family bathrooms" which can be used by the handicapped who need assistance and the attendant might be of the opposite sex (handicapped husband being cared for by a wife, handicapped child there with the parent of the opposite sex) or even mothers with a couple of small children who need to be closely supervised.
Have you also considered any kind of handicapped access to the pool--lifts and such?
I'm tired of having 4-5 year old boys in my female dressing area when I want to take a shower and I don't think 4-5 year old boys (or even girls) should be left on their own to make it out to the pool when going thru a dressing/changing room. Helicopter parents aren't always desired but would you want your unsupervised kid (even with other children) running free in a public bathroom?
