Title: Does Size matter THAT much..?? Post by: Shogun112 on March 02, 2011, 10:13:40 PM http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/world-of-sport/article/36686/ (http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/world-of-sport/article/36686/)
Title: Re: Does Size matter THAT much..?? Post by: thetank on March 02, 2011, 10:22:33 PM I like the councillors response after the mistake of not building the pool big enough for the touch sensitive timing pads became apparent.
It doesn't matter lads, just use stopwatches. Same fing pretty much innit? The British Olympic legacy begins... Title: Re: Does Size matter THAT much..?? Post by: outragous76 on March 02, 2011, 10:29:07 PM surely the pads could be cut in to finish flush

I used to be a top level swimmer (top 5 national standard in a few events), so know a bit about the subject. The council has stated they wanted it to cater for a group of atheletes for the olympics and their training schedule. How does the fact that they dont have timing pads stop them training? In 14 years of swimming, I never used a timepad in training. Never heard of a stopwatch? Title: Re: Does Size matter THAT much..??

Probably an urban myth anyway. Title: Re: Does Size matter THAT much..??
