I'm taking a casual poll of the "Best Places to Swim in the World" for a freelance story I'm working on. The topic is very open-ended: I'm looking for anything from the best place for an open-water swim, i.e. La Jolla Cove, to an olympic pool with an amazing setting, i.e. North Sydney Olympic Pool.
Your ideas would be most helpful to me; from the well-known watering holes to off-the-beaten spots, from swimming holes to hotel pools...And please note why you love swimming there.
There is an interesting book about pools called "Gold Medal Pools" by Buck Dawson. It has great pictures of unusual pools, including Liberace's piano-shaped pool. Buck's latest book "Mermaids" is about well-known female swimmers of the past and is very good. Buck's books can be ordered through the International Swimming Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame pool is my favorite pool also!
