    When you’re part of a swim team and all the pools in your neighbourhood are closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you find creative ways to train. For the Winskill Dolphins, much of the spring was spent dryland training, running, and getting instruction from their coaches through video chats.

    Then one of the team members had a brainstorm — why don’t we just jump in the ocean?

    From http://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/page… find out why swimming pools of all kinds are universally not meant to be placed in long term storage or closed permanently. Pools require that you open, operate and maintain them or else you risk expensive damage that is likely to happen to parts of the pool and these will require repair should you ever want to open the pool again in the future.

  • Oxford study: Tokyo Olympics are most costly Summer Games

    The Tokyo Olympics are already the most expensive Summer Games on record with costs set to go higher, a wide-ranging study from Britain’s University of Oxford indicates.

    The Tokyo cost overrun already exceeds 200%, lead author Bent Flyvbjerg explained in an interview with The Associated Press. This is even before several billion more dollars are added on from the one-year delay from the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Flyvbjerg is an economist at Oxford’s Said Business School. His entire study is available here, and it’s set to be published on Sept. 15 in the journal “Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space.” It’s titled “Regression to the Tail: Why the Olympics Blow Up.”

    Tokyo, postponed until July 23, 2021, is only a small part of the focus. The study — the third in a series following editions 2012 and 2016 — looks at Olympic costs since 1960 and finds they keep increasing despite claims by the International Olympic Committee that costs are being cut.
