Does anyone else ever have the perception that each pool has one direction that is "faster" than the other? I swear that this is true, but can't really imagine the physics of why it would be so. In particular, it seems to me that going from the deep end to the shallow end almost always seems "faster" than going from the shallow end into the deep end. I speak specifically of 25 yard pools with one end about 12 feet deep and the other end about 3-4 feet deep since I have little experience with anything else. In all cases, the water jets are symmetrical in placement and seem to be pushing out the same amount of water (roughly). These are also indoor pools, so there are no wind effects and we aren't talking about when the water buffalo...err... water aerobics people are creating tsunami in the shallow end.
Or am I crazy? (No cheap shots on that one.)

Swimshark, the pool still belongs to the Aquanauts. James Parker is the head coach, I am the assistant. I retired from the Army about a year and a half ago. Flew on Joint STARS while here. Now I work with Northrop Grumman on base. We just got a new bubble for the pool this past year. Has only come down once this winter due to a power failure. Right now I am on a mission to get a new indoor facility for the area!!!! WE NEED IT!!!!!!!
Hope things are good up there!
