Wednesday April 30th the swim center will be available for
USMS swimmers to use from 3 pm to 7 pm
tip: I recommend for swimmers who've never swum in the swim center to
show up a day or two early early to get used to turning on the bulkhead walls

having witnessed your distaste for bulkheads, i can certainly understand where you are coming from... ;)
:mooning:
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.
It is much easier to tell where a wall is when there is a corner. And I always come up on walls so much faster than in practice or warmups even...
