Bejing Pool is "Fast" and Designed to Break Records.

To promote the breaking of swimming world records, the Chinese have optimized their Water Cube pool for speed by: (1) Keeping the water at 80.6 degrees, the temperature considered optimal for swimmers; (2) pumping "microbubbles" into the pool to break the water's surface tension; (3) building the pool to a depth of 42.7 feet, which prevents water-temperature interference; and (4) introducing a ventilation system that whisks chlorine fumes off the surface of the water, allowing the athletes to breathe clean air. --outside.away.com
The pool is 42.7' deep :drown: ?
So far in pool design, 3 meter depth has been found to be the optimal balance of water density, wave disipation, temperature control, current control, etc. Maybe that might change but that's where pool design is right now.
Are you just making stuff up Paul?:duel:
