Ugh. I feel like it is that way with all bulkheads. I wish more pools just swam across if they are 25 yards: walls are so much better!
having witnessed your distaste for bulkheads, i can certainly understand where you are coming from... ;)
however, i must also play devils advocate, that a 25y pool with a bulkhead at one end and 25y pool that is wall to wall are the same length... and will take everyone the same amount of strokes to reach the wall. no one should need to lift a head.
having posted this, i also remembered that bulkheads can be made of different material that may need a good test turn or 8 or 20 to familiarize ones self w/ the grip that may or may not be available. Anyone swam in UPenn's pool? Their bulkhead is painted wood (or wood-esque material)... not the best traction.
