Since I will begin measuring pool lengths, I ventured out to Home Depot (and then to the Internet), to try to find an acceptable measuring device for a 50 meter pool.
I found that Stanley makes a 100 foot stainless steel tape, but could not find one longer.
In fact, the only longer tape I could find was made of fiberglass, which is not allowed for certifying pool lengths.
Does anyone know if a stainless steel tape long enough to measure a 50 meter course is manufactured, and if so, by whom and where can it be purchased?
Thanks.

I've spent a great deal of time searching for the 200' Lufkin steel tape measures. The 100' are fairly easy to find and also relatively inexpensive, but we will need the 200' to measure our 50 meter pools.
I have found 200 foot Lufkin's at the following sites:
Lufkin Yellow-face Steel Tape Measure
LU-Y1278 200' x 1/4" in Inches $189.19
www.instrumentsales1.com/.../fs-01.htm
LUFKIN 3/8" X200' STEEL TAPE $215.00
www.aceenergysupply.com/showdetl.cfm
I also see them on page 33 of the above mentioned Lufkin catalog. Items 1808 and 1808D will probably serve our purpose.
