Looking at all the discussion about where to host Nationals, I thought I would start a thread on your favorite or unusual pools that you have competed in.
There was a 50 meter pool in San Antonio Texas at the Lone Star Brewery. I believe it was spring fed and was surrounded on three sides by a pond. The meets used to be a favorite with the parents, because brewery tours and samples were available. It did not have much shade around the deck, but was a fast pool. Unfortunately it was closed when Stroh's bought Lone Star and moved the brewing operations.
The brewery is going to be redeveloped with with shopping, lofts, a health facility, and they are going to reopen the pool and beer garden area.
Current favorite competition pool is at UT. They finished the thing and let us in it during the spring of my freshman year in 77. The team trained in Gregory Gym in a 33 yrd pool prior to that.
Did not get to compete in the pool while I was in college, I retired after my freshman year. Did swim in there at the SCY Nationals and Zones.
