Thank you for visiting, mene, and for all your kind comments.

The pool was built in 1979, and is 137.5 metres long (451 feet). I don't quite understand why that distance was chosen, but those lengths are long! 12 lengths (not laps!) to a mile. It is my all-time favorite pool. It is only open in summer, from May to September.
