Does the Sapphire and Diamond have a "swim against the current lap pool?

Cheers,

Don't know but you could try to go through the Horizon court backwards, much better exercise and you will learn new colorful phrases from some people that look to nice to know those words.

I was on the Diamond and I'm not sure what you mean. There are two small pools that are too small to swim laps. The other two pools, are full size pools that are overfilled. When the ship tilts the water overflows on to the decking. There's a two foot wall around the decking so the water doesn't spill out to the sun bathing area. We had two days of choppy water and the kids had a ball in the pool. You could practically "surf" the waves. Does this answer your question. I wasn't sure what you meant.

Yes, I was on the inaugural, and the "swim against the current lap pool" is identical to the ones on the Grand class ships.

We find it much easier to swim WITH the current.http://www.heathersanimations.com/Sport/wipeout.gif

Enjoy the pool, as we did numerous times on the Golden.

stepg... thanks for the info. I prefer to swim rather than jog or walk for exercise.

The pool with the current is in the center of the spa (but outdoors). Even though it's in the spa, there is no charge for its use. (Tip: The current isn't always "running;" sometimes you have to push the button to get it started.)
