Hello~
Since nearly everyone in my office knows that I swim, I seem to be getting all of the questions/comments about swimming at the Olympics.
I got an interesting question....
Have you swum in a pool where the Olympics swimming events took place?
Offhand, I don't know the answer for myself. I just spent 30 minutes googling, and although I can find the cities where the Olympics took place, I can't find the sites where swimming specifically took place. If anyone has a list (or knows where one is), that would be great. I've been to many of the cities, toured Olympic stadiums, and could have possibly swam in some of the pools that were used.
Otherwise, it would be great to read some stories of others who have swum in pools where the Olympics took place. I asked 2 guys after our practice this morning, both had....1 in LA, the other in Moscow.

Just got back from a Europe trip and while in Munich, I went to the Olympic pool there. All the facilities there are still in amazing condition and the pool is still the best pool I have ever seen.
Olympic pools:
Los Angeles (old pool - they rebuilt it, but it's still the same pool next to the stadium
Berlin
Rome (I think - had a meet in Rome and I think it was the old Olympic pool)
Los Angeles - 84 - know every inch of that pool ...
Seoul
Barcelona
