    I belong to a lifetime fitness and I believe the pool length is 25 meters long or 50 meters up and back.  Does that sound right?

      Most pools are 25 yards or meters and the staff at the gym never seem to know even if they claim to.  Most people like to measure it themselves or at the least ask the serious looking swimmers at the pool cause they probably measured it already.


      To measure it I usually count paces.  That is accurate enough to determine if it is 25 yards or meters however sometimes pools are odd lengths like 18 or 20 yards.  In that case you might want to try counting tiles on the floor and then measure 1 tile and multiply to calculate the length.
