Still a Counter-Current Pool on Jewel?

[signora]

We swim for exercise and would love to know if this still exists (in the solarium). Thanks in advance for your help!

A counter to keep track of how many laps you've done? I've never

seen this. I'm curious as to where this is and what it looks like.

Tell me more.

No, this is a counter-current pool: (also known as an endless pool)

Not a counter.

 

A pool with a strong current that you swim against. You basically stay stationary but have to swim in order to maintain that position.

Ahhh, that makes sense. What I need in my heath club is

a way to remember what lap I am on. I though this may be

the answer. :)

Looking back there are some references to a counter-current or resistant jets in in the solarium pool on Jewel. Ward and Berlitz both mention it in their books, and a couple of cruisers prior to 2006 mention it as well. One cruiser said there was a button to push in the pool that turned on the jets. But no one seems to have talked about this since 2006, so I don't know if it still exists. It would be nice, but it's not a deal breaker!

Can't say definitively that it is not there, but I did not notice it when we sailed on Jewel last fall and did spend a decent amount of time in the Solarium.

Thanks!
