The question is will 50mm affect the result, and will it make a significant difference to the times.

I suppose if someone breaks a world record it wouldn't count because it wasn't a true distance. :roll:

Turns out this was a non-story...some Tory councillor stirring sh*t!!! The pool is the right size and has been passed as such by the IOC..(I think that's what they're called)
