Really silly inquiry regarding the barrier in a 50m pool.

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.) :)

  • Because the barrier (usually called a bulkhead technically) was already in at one end of the pool when it was 50m. And some pools (Federal Way is an example) have two bulkheads installed. That way the pool can be used as a single 50 meter course, two 25 yard courses, or two 25 meter courses. Maximum versatility!
