Subject: Pool length at 24 HR in Dallas??
I know this is an odd question but does anyone know the pool longth at teh 24 hour fitness in Dallas off 75 and Royal?? No one at the gym can tell me, because they are all idiots. One guy said he "thought" it was a 25 meter pool but Im not so sure because the one I normally swim at with my class once a week is a 25 meter pool (so the coach says, and yes I trust him) and the one at 24 hour that I practice in every now and then for some reason seems smaller than the 25 meter I normally swim at. Could that even be possible? Anyone know the pool length at 24 hr? Sorry for the weird question, but thought I'd ask??

the people at the 24 hour off of 635 in Coppell say the pool there is 25 yards. I would assume they are all the same, but could be wrong.

I'm betting that it's 25 Yards.. I will swim at the one in frisco and Lewisville which are 25 yards also.. I've actually took a 75 ft rope from wal-mart measured to make sure it was the correct length and measured both pools,,  that of course doesn't stop the staff at the frisco pool from telling everyone that it's 25 meters..  I've been in the pool when they bring people through as part of the sales tour and will correct them if it's one of the couple ones that tork me off quite a bit.

I measured the 24hr pool in Allen and it's 25 yards. The staff kept telling me it was meters until I showed up with a tape measure and had one of them help me to measure it.

Every one I have been is has been in yards but I have only been in 2.  Both times I was told meters and then I measured and it was yards.  I can tell you after one lap now if a pool is yards or meters though just by swimming.

No... it's probably YARDS. 24 Hour Fitness has small pools... I haven't seen one in meters.

Fort Worth is 25 meters. I used a tape measure.



That would be the first 24 Hour I've heard of that's in meters. The others I've checked were all yards(including the Magic Johnson Sport he's talking about).

One thing I will tell you with certainty...you will never know for sure unless you personally walk it with a tape measure.   Some Lifetime Fitness pools are yards, some meters, some have both at the same facility (indoor/outdoor).  24hr is the same deal (in that they are all different).

I swim @ the lewisville 24hr.  They told me when I signed up that the pool length was 35 meters.  If anyone measures this one please let me know the length.  I'll try and figure out a way to measure it.

We actually have one lane that's 25 yards and the other 4 are 25 meters.

Can't tell you why; just that it's true.



Which reminds me; kids, don't do crack and build pools. It won't work out well, it just won't. Trust me on this.

I"ve measured lewisville's a long time ago.. and if my memory is correct and it hasn't grow it was 25 yds... I wish these pools were 25 meters I could use the extra speed

Thanks Gary,  I wish the pool was bigger too!  I figured at lease it would be 25 meters.  Great part about the pool though, regardless of size, is that there is never anyone there when I go apart from some aqua-joggers every now and then.  Cool
