Carlsberg don't do swimming pools but if they did....

[proud2bwelsh]

Just watched the Carlsberg advert about them not making nightclubs but if they did they'd be the best in the world.

I want to know what your dream swimming pool would have, if money was no object?


I'll start by wanting access to underwater photography and video so I can analyse my swim after the training session.

[icelolly]

it would be 2 pools a 50m and a 25 m
with brill spectators seating for both
there would be one in each major town
all clubs would be able to access somesensible training time

lol well i can dream

Anyone seen the Sydney Aquatic Centre. Now that is my idea of a perfect swimming complex!

- Proper poolside space that doesn't get wet all the time.

- Physio's on hand whenever you need a massage.

- Comfortable seats to sit on, not holey metal benches like Sheffield.

- Video analysis so you can see your race straight after you've swum - a bit like the tennis.

- Healthy food available on poolside or in the Cafe.

Well right now, I'd go for any pool with clean water, the right amount of chlorine and the right temperature........well that's just the pool I swim in.

I'd like a pool complex, somewhere nice and warm with a combination of indoor and outdoor pools, two pools like sheffield with a movable boom, warmup and down pool etc...

For the spectators a well stocked bar and comfy chairs please

They just happen to be building a new pool where I live! Unfortunaly they take no notice of what people say! SO we I having the the old 25M 5 Lane pool taken down (built in the 1970S) and now the town has grown we are having a new 25M 5 Lane pool. It all done properly they did a head count for some reasone on the some day England Played Sweden in some football mactch (Or atleast one of the england world cup matchs!!!)!!!! and any way that ment that we only needed 5 lanes!!!!!!!!! aparentaly you only need 1 life guards with 5 lanes!!!!

Anyway back to the piont if carlsberg were to build a new pool where I live they could just add 1 extra Lane so we could have competions in it. Or even better make it 8 lanes? some viewing would be nice too!

I somthing think that my local government don't want competitions in there pool, for the nearst 6 lane pool is 10 to 15 miles away in another small town (which just happens to be 1/3rd of the size in population).

Id like one like chelmsford essex but better.

It has a diving section on a pool that is dog leg shaped to accomodate the diving boards safely, a muck about section and a generous lane section for swimmers. This pool has it all, i can take my nieces there let them muck about on boards/play area while i can do some lengths, even in public sessions.It has a slide and even an outdoor pool.

My local 2 pools have no lanes weekends at all which i think sucks badly, and chelmsfords a blimmin 20 mile drive but i still do it.

And it would be nice to ALLOW ACROBATICS, which seems to have been banned everywhere in public sessions, how am i supposed to impressed the nieces if they wont let me do somersaults anymore.

So like chelmsford with a 10 meter board added to it and SCRAP THE ANTI ACROBATICS rule, its pants.

1. Open air
2. In the sunshine
3. Local
4. Clean and with decent changing facilities
5. Reasonable cost
6. Big and rectangular with lanes (not necessarily long course though) and not too full

Unfortunately 1 and 2 are not campatable with 3 unless I move.

[Bully]

Don't care how many lanes, don't care what temperature, don't care what depth, don't even care if it had a bar, just as long as all the lifeguards are Keeley Hazell in tight shirt, tight shorts and stilleto's it would work for me, don't even care if she hasn't got her lifeguard qualification!!!

My perfect pool?

1.) Outdoors
2.) Limitless size
3.) No chlorine (other than that combined with sodium)
4.) Not too warm - about 20C
5.) Nobody within at least one mile of me
6.) No rules and regulations
7.) Free at the point of use
8.) Open day and night
9.) Permanent wave machine

Unfortunately the local pool of this type is only warm enough to swim in for about half the year - for most of us. You can do it all year round in the one surrounding the Canaries!
