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.) :)
Mark,
Please cite the rule for the +30mm. I cannot find it in the USMS rule book.
