Oh, I second that, Brenden. That is so annoying. And to hear people say it's olympic and then find out it's kidney shaped?! Grrr.
I third that! The same applies at the local Aquatic Center where I live. I'm sorry, but a short-course isn't Olympic Sized, it's a SHORT-COURSE. In fact, the only Olympic Sized Pool I know of is in the Military Base where I do my Saturday Workouts with my team.
Olympic Sized Pools are 50 Meters in length and are 25 Meters in width. The whole use of Yards is beyond me, it's just too messy.
