Is Coral Springs pool (SCY nationals) considered a fast pool? Anybody have any input

Not to mention that there have been a few Masters' records broken there, as well. I used to train there regularly (and in the sea also, for what it's worth).
So, what makes a pool 'fast'? Special water? :) (I do realise that there are various factors that can contribute to how a pool 'feels,' but unless we're at the utra- elite level, it ain't gonna matter much).
It'll be interesting at nationals (I'm thinking of going- maybe). A bit of a side note, however: C.S. is known to have a wonky lightning detection system, and in May in FL., we may spend more time hopping in and out of the pool than competing- especially in the afternoon. ;)
(edited to state that I need to start posting more quickly, as the above post sort of 'answers my concerns.")
'Don't forget that the Hall of Fame pool saw Natalie Coughlin become the first woman to break a minute in the 100 meter backstroke or that Mike Barrowman and Martin Zubero set world records in that pool as well.
So they were not concerned if it was "fast" or not. They went to swim the best they were capable of doing that day.
