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.)

Hey Gareth:
Wow, consider yourself very lucky if you can get a grip on reality in just 12 steps….Heck, it takes me about a six day walk to just see past the fog….let alone think of reality. Does not, does to, does not, does to….
Leonard….your right…if I mess around with the bull long enough eventually I’m going to get the horn….I just couldn’t resist putting my two cents worth in by adding a bit of humor to my thoughts on all that nonsense.
Wayne:….don’t even get me going on the difference between the Irish and Scotch…”WE” both know it has nothing to do with that….It’s a Jar Head thing….RIGHT? I am not sure I get better or worse after a few drinks because I always fall of the stool and never can figure out what went wrong....In all reality (is none-is to-is not), I'm on the wagon....and it is not the Clidesdale wagon...
