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.) :)

  • For a long time I've been wondering why the necessity for so much measuring in pools where the docking stations for the bulkheads are static. But the tightness of the lane lines is something I'd never thought of. Interesting. But really, why is constant measuring required in pools that don't have moveable bulkheads, and touch pads aren't used? Once a static pool like that is measured it seems like that should be the end of measuring. Is there something I'm not seeing? Dan
