When I was there they had 2 standard size English pool (tables) down the Exe Club (NAAFI).
As for the swimming pool, I could say. I'd guestimate at 25m x 12.5m. Depth - Shallow end - waist high, deep end, over your head.

The one i was in was 25m by probably 12.5m (like the other bloke said). I remember the deep end was 3.5m though, the amount of times i had to bloody jump in it!
Why does this concern you anyway, its big enough to get some good exercise and the training team will never let you drown...after they watch you struggle for a while.
I believe they called something EWO = Exercise Without Oxygen.

33m pools aren't unusual, more common than the 50m in this country I believe. I don't know whats with 33m, does it make more sense in imperial?
