Re: 4 issues.
One. A 137m pool in Vancouver.
Can anyone explain this? It sure seems an odd size and must surely rule itself out of any competitive events (certainly for swimming). What were the designers thinking of? Getting a world record or optimising the most space possible?
Two. Biggest pool (length, widgh, surface area).
Anyone know of a bigger one? In many European (and no doubt elseswhere) Mediteranean countries like Spain, Greece, Italy and Cyprus, they have some pretty large but fun spaced pools. They may exceed the Canadian one, but there is no comparison other than point to point or surface area. The world's largest sea water pool was (according to British news reports) in Brighton I think. No doubt the guiness book of records will be a quick rsource for us.
Three. Universalising dynamic pool sizes.
I think that the dynamnic events should be more standardised to a pool size of either 25m or 50m or one size for each event. But then there is no advantage/disadvantage for anyone concerned at the moment because the choice is yours - unless of course you can't get access to an international (50m) pool.
Four. Deepest pool.
What's the deepest pool, both including and not including specific dive pools please?
Thanks,
Steve
