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.

I forgot to mention that the pool will be build in South America, (I used to live in Ohio), so meters are the rule down here.
25m makes sense then given that info. :) You may want to check into local ordinances as far as pool capacity in number of people with that small of a pool for the older people and children. Make sure what you build will handle a typical "load" during busy times. If most your people want to be in the smaller warmer pool and its always at capacity, then thats not good either.
