CIVIL ENGINEERS OR SURVEYORS
Due to a rules change this year, all the pools where records could be 
set have to be measured and certified. A couple of pools have been 
measured, but we would like to get some professional advice on 
measuring a pool. If you would like to help, please email Michael 
Moore chairman at pacificmasters.org with a good time to contact you. 
After spending 45 minutes in a pool to measure a pool, we know there 
has to be a better way.

have a good week
