visit but it was well worth it. The pool was less than three feet on the shallow end and fourteen feet on the deep end. The interior was lined with aqua tiles three inches by four inches. I mention this because I have never seen a pool like this. The pool was constructed during the Saddam Hussein era. Remarkably, there was a female locker room original to the building.

Today I had the opportunity to go swimming. The pool is not at all convenient to 
visit but it was well worth it. The pool was less than three feet on the shallow end and fourteen feet on the deep end. The interior was lined with aqua tiles three inches by four inches.

ReplyDeleteSooo, what did the women wear swimming??
ReplyDeleteI have since learned that the pool was used for Olympic training, which I imagine would have included a womens' team.
