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.

Depends how you are ranking them. If you are looking for a nice huge facility then Stanford it great. It's a wonderful outdoor facility. If you are looking for raw speed and smooth glass water, I wouldn't put Stanford on that list. Pools like Indy, and the Texas Aquatic Center are still very fast pools even though the basis of many elements of their design comes from the Munich and Montreal pools in 1972,76.
