I had the opportunity last week to swim in the new aquatic center at the University of Missouri. The facility is AWESOME (yes, this is painful for a Jayhawk to admit).
It made me wonder, what are the "Top Ten" aquatic facilities in the U.S.? What would be your nominee to such a Top Ten list?
Here are links to a description and photos of MU's new facility.

Well top on my list would be the Avery Aquatic Center at Stanford -
1 50M x 25 M pool (Belardi)
1 50M x 25 Y pool (Baker)
1 Diving tank with 1 and 3 M boards; 1,3,5,7.5 and 10 Meter platforms (Maas_
1 Competition pool about 40 meters with a bulkhead.
it can hand 4000 swimmers on one day.

I would also include Indy, Federal Way and Ft Lauderdale (ok FTL needs some work but it does have 2 50 Meter pools and a diving tank).
