Pool Length

Yesterday I swam in a pool I had never been to before. The pool is 30.5 meters (33.3 yards) long X 20 yards wide. Starting blocks were on the 20 yards. Why would a pool be built at 30.5 meters? Would you change your workout to accommodate this unusual distance? My normal 4000 meter workout, turned into 4880 meters. I would like to continue to use this pool,however I will have to put in some serious thinking into my workouts.

    There is a 50m outdoor pool with a removable bulkhead that I train at in the summer. When you put the bulkhead in you get a 25m and a 25y pool on each side. There are summer swimming scm meets held there. The blocks are on the bulkhead so it must be pretty tight with timers etc.
