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.

    For access control all the public pools around where I live have paper wristbands that have a different colour/pattern each day. The lifeguard can then tell if everyone has paid. They aren't ideal for lap swimming though. That would annoy me greatly. Anything on my body other than a bathing suit annoys the crap out of me when swimming. Just being able to feel the asymmetric flow of water and the bracelet bouncing around drives me nuts.
