Adult Pool Length on the Magic?

[Joshua Kelso]

Could not find this anywhere online! Does anyone know how long the adults pool is? I'd assume from the videos its 8-10 meters?

I’ve never seen any measurement, nor have I ever measured it. But I think the videos you’ve seen might be misleading. The pool might be as much as the 8 meters you mentioned 10 seems a bit too high. The pools all seem pretty small.

I do not know the dimensions of the pool but I will say the overall size is deceiving as the total size of the pool includes a shallow area all around it. The deeper portion of the pool you can actually swim is going to be smaller than any dimensions you may find.

Like 3 strokes across-lol I have tried laps in there. Not terribly productive? Better than nothing? Not sure

Much bigger than the ones on the Dream & Fantasy...

I watched a guy (built like a swimmer: tall, big shoulders) work out in the adult pool one morning. For 30+ minutes he did two strokes flipped and two more strokes. Looked like he was practicing his flip and push-off more than swimming.

I did laps in it once. You do have to turn frequently, but it's doable if you want some exercise & there's no one else in the pool.

I can do 11 strokes from end to end

The shallow area is to contain the pool water in rough seas. I saw a segment on the Travel Channel explaining why cruise ship pools are small. Weight, and that is especially a factor on pools on upper decks. Water weights a lot and they can't have that much weight that far up in a ship. Especially weight that is moving around in rough seas.
The old Trans-Atlantic ships like the Norway (built as the France) had a wonderful indoor on almost the lowest deck, so weight and balance weren't an issue. My wife and I often had that pool to ourselves on our cruises on the Norway. Got our swim in and didn't need sunscreen.

To me, that's one of the draws of the older ships. The pool is definitely swimmable for normal people, especially compared to the newer ships.

Weight IS an issue... remember 1 gallon (milk jug) weighs about 8 pounds.

If the pool is about 14 x 28 feet and 3.5 feet deep (the adult pool is probably a little deeper) that is about 10,300 gallons or 82,400 pounds of water!! or 470 adults averaging 175 pounds each

I have a stationary swim trainer to use for small hotel pools. Basically, it's just resistance bands that you attach to yourself and then a pool ladder and you can swim without going anywhere. You can buy them on Swimoutlet.com
