The Olympic size pool in Cardiff Bay isn't actually Olympic size because they didn't measure the depth of the tiles properly!!! 
I'm a member of the gym there and was told this earlier on!!!!

It's the one in Swansea that is not Olympic size.
You need ten lanes for an Olympic pool. Swanseas was only built wide enough for 8 lanes.
