5 minutes away is a 33m pool, for 10% of the cost.
Actually i think ironmonger is 30.5 metres. Hence much confusion trying to train for my first two 5ks there. Thinking it was a 30m pool i trained for 170 ish lengths only to be stopped after 154.
So the next year i trained for 154 and was told on arrival that it was 168! Even they don't know how long it is. I THINK it's 30.5 though.
