As a nation we are desperately short of world-class sport facilities,
not just for holding events, but for training. It's five weeks from
the Commonwealth Games trials, and British swimmers are having to fly
out to Slovenia, because there aren't enough decent places to train
here, FFS! There are only twenty 50-metre swimming pools on nineteen
sites in the entire country - Berlin alone has more than that.
Australia had 1,600 in total, 45 of which are full Olympic standard.

So how many swimmers are we talking about in what number of people?
