In the United Kingdom most pools are in metres, but older pools measured in yards still exist. In the US pools tend to either be 25 yards (SCY-short course yards), 25 metres (SCM-short course metres) or 50 metres (long course). US high schools and the NCAA conduct short course (25 yards) competition. There also exist many swimming pools sizes 33 m long, so that 3 lengths = 100 m. This pool dimension is commonly used to accommodate water polo.

Being a pool builder myself, I see a lot of clients purchase the standard lap pool and the freeform pool. Lap pools are often purchased by clients that want the pool for exercise or rehabilitation purposes. While the freeform pool is often purchased by clients that want a backyard oasis for the family. We build pools using gunite so that it allows us the ability to create whatever stlye pool the client wants. It allows for the most freedom in pool designs. Great article.
