Today I heard that a swimming pool "back east" had been recently measured and found to be too short. Further, the rumor continues, any records set in that facility are alleged to be dis-allowed. True? False? Who knows the real skinny on this ?

I have a question and I feel sure that someone has done or will do the calculations to answer it.
The whole controvery about pool length, of course, centers around fairness. BUT, which situation below gives the swimmer the larger advantage?
(1) Swimming 100 meters in a pool that measures 24.99 meters, timed electronically.
(2) Swimming 100 meters in a pool that measures 25.00 meters, timed by hand held watches.
