The community in which I live is planning a multi million dollar aquatic centre comprising among other pools 2 x 25 m pools but no 50m pool. I intend lobbying for a 50m pool but am I being selfish ? What are some compelling reasons for a 50m pool ? Thanks in advance.:confused:
I agree with Phil! We do have it very good working out in a 50M X 25yard pool. Our team switches between short and long course workouts. Having this type of pool also gives the facility a lot of flexibility, allowing workouts to occur at the same time as water aerobics classes, etc. If your community chooses to build a 50M X 25yard pool, it could host a variety of swimming events (short course meets, long course meets, water polo tournaments) that could bring in money. Just a thought. Unforunately, our tiny locker facilities won't allow for that, so make sure if your community does build a big pool that they also build an adequate locker room!

P.S. I think that 79 degrees is the best water temperature to work out in.
