What is the best size pool for adults?
For exercise and lap swimming A rectangular pool with a minimum length of 30 feet is best for uninterrupted swimming. Recommended size: 30–40 feet in length. Both the 25-metre and 50-metre pools are used for training by professional swimmers all over the world but the same swimmer will always be able to get a faster time in a short course rather than a long course.The Length of the Swimming Pool The normal college swimming competitive pool is 25 yards long. Olympic swimming is done in LCM – long-course meters. Olympic pools are 50 meters long. There are also SCM pools (short-course meters) that are 25 meters long, but in the USA these are not very common.
