If they do build the pool, I hope they see sense and make it 25 metres. 25 yards is fine for recreation but if it were an internationally-accepted length maybe it could generate some income by holding "meets".

Or make it 50m and TV could put in a bid for the Olympics, with pickleball as a demonstration sport :-)
