Really silly inquiry regarding the barrier in a 50m pool.
Former Member
Please forgive me for this, but my OCD brain needs to know:
When they put that barrier in the 50m pool to make 2x25m pools, how can you be left with 25m if the barrier is at least 1m wide?
(This matters to me, sorry.) :)
So I have a question then (just for the sake of discussion). Presumably then, the pool is accurately measured with the bulkhead in at one end. When it’s moved to the middle is remeasurement required? Or is that superfluous because measurement before each meet is required?

For USMS meets, bulkhead pools have to be measured at both ends and the middle at the start and finish of every session.
USA-S has a little different standard I think. I did Sectionals this year and I didn't have to get pool measurements for USMS times because the measurements for Mizzou was already on file. I don't know exactly how the bulkhead placement works, if there's some kind of groove the bulkhead locks in or something that ensures it's at the same place every time.
