Subject: Gold's Gym Woodstock Pool Length

I just started swimming at the new Gold's Gym in Woodstock on Hwy 92.  They actually have a pretty nice pool and at this point it is not too crowded yet.  The first time I swam there they told me it was a 25 meter pool, 25 meters * 64 laps = 1 Mile.  Tonight I swam there and they tell me it is a 25 yard pool, 25 yards * 72 laps = 1 Mile.

I am hoping someone with more experience in the pool is going there and can help me figure out the actual distance!

Pool lengths at gyms are all over the place. Your best bet is to measure it yourself.

Goodluck.

Try counting your strokes in a pool that you are sure of the distance and compare it to the G.Gym pool.  It's not exact, but you should get a good idea.  I guess you could always bring your tape measure??

I've thought of bringing my Tape measure to many a pool. As brown dog stated, pools are all over the place. A foot here and there is easily discernable. Does it matter in the long run? Maybe, maybe not, but if you are thinking you are swimming a mile, and you are only doing 8/10ths of one, then it could definately have a detrimental effect.

Justin,

I have a 300' tape measure you can borrow if you want.
