Quick Question... fast pool

Originally posted by jswim I have noticed on a few different occasions where people have mentioned the apparent "speed" of the pool they swim in. anyone want to enlighten a clueless person as to what this means? ;) If you trained in the Municipal Pool (now called the Jimmy Thompson Pool) in Hamilton Ontario You would know the difference. The waves produced by the flat walls were and still very large, it is like swimming in a wave pool. When you take a breath you can easily swallow water. George
