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.) :)
Since we're having a conversation here, I have another question. IF a swimmer swims 'close' to a record time, and just for example, misses a Record by 1/100 of a second...and then the pool is subsequently measured to be long...is there any scenario wherein the the math can be applied to adjust the time...i.e. what their time was at precisely the event distance...and that swimmer given the WR?
And if they do that, why wouldn't they be able to adjust the time for when a pool is measure to be short? The minuscule distances don't affect the swimmer's pace. Why not do it? That could be the general answer to events in pools that measure +/- accurate.
