Hi,
My Masters swim team is going to attempt to gain support for a 50 meter pool to be built in our city at an upcoming city counsel meeting. I vaguely remember a similar thread a while back where people listed both pros and cons for a 50 meter pool vs. two smaller pools but I can't seem to find it with the search function. Can anyone help lead me in the right direction? If not, please just respond to this new thread. We really need this pool.
Thanks,

With the budget problems of California, it might be wiser to push for a smaller pool. They are talking about cutting back on health services, so recreatonal pools are not that high on city budgets there. Anyway, there is a 50 meter pool about 7 miles from me but there is only a summer league team that uses and when I went one there one and its only set up 25 yards for lap swimming. You can swim long course in a short course pool. by doing 125 yard swims or 225 or 250 yard swims in place of 100 yards or 200 yards. I switched back and foth between 100 yards and 125 yards.
