@xeony2k The US has some hangovers from yesteryear in the way of imperial measurements. No international swimming events are run in imperial measurements. Australia went metric over 30 years ago. The best $60 million dollars we ever spent.
Many minesites have 24m pools here in Oz as the rule requiring a lifeguard for all pools 25m or longer. But these pools are for fitness, not competition.

@donster660 I don't know, but some pools are 25 yards here in the states, 25m and then some have 50m lanes. Countries that use the metric system tend to be all metric. A true mile is really closer to 1600m, but a swimming mile is generally referred to as 1500m. When submitting a time for an event seeding I'll use a 1650m time for a 1-2 mile OWS event. So, IME it depends on a few things.

@branodi Good job! You just broke Grant Hackett's record! Seriously... I doubt you're 8, and I doubt you even swim.

Are swimming events not all measured in metric? Thus a mile becomes 1500 metres
lol, that guy you're referring to happens to be a world record holding swimmer.

Im going to go ahead and say im sorry because i have no place judging a world record holder, maybe it just looked like that from the camera angle.
