The almost-meter Yard has got to pack its bags and go home soon. What is it even doing at this point other than causing naked numeral confusion.

A lot (most?) of American school pools are built to the yard, so it's going to stick around for a long time I'm afraid.
My youthful swimming career was done in a 33+1/3rd metre swimming pool. I haven't found another one that length.
