This may or may not have been discussed in the past but I am wondering what are people's favorite pools. Which one is your all time favorite to practice in and to race in.
My favorite practice pool was The Baylor School's old 6 lane, 25 yard pool. I think the deepest part of the pool was 4 1/2 feet. Shallow, really wavy and crowded. I knew if I swam fast in that pool, either in duel meets or practice, I could swim fast anywhere else.
My favorite pool for big meets is the Tracy Caulkins pool in Nashville. We would go to our LCS and State Championships. The pool is fast. When you dove in, you would get pysched to race in the pool.
What about others? Would love to hear about other pools.
Thanks!

For both working out and meets my favorite pool is the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way, WA. They cater to competitive swimmers. The pool is always the perfect temp. I'm really looking forward to SCY Nationals being there in 2007.
I didn't realize how spoiled I was until I moved away from the Puget Sound area. Now I celebrate the days when the pool gets under 82 degrees.

Not that this is related, but I noticed that you make a lot of posts and that your location seems to change frequently. Is there more than one Kyra, or is it always you?
