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...

surely the pads could be cut in to finish flush

Dive me a bolster chisel and I'll cut them a 2in recess in about half a day.

This seriously is an issue?

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?

I remember a story about a pool that was measured out and they'd forgotten to take into account the depth of the tiles - was a few years back.

Probably an urban myth anyway.
