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.
I have a top 5 favorite list:
1. IU Natatorium
2. Texas Swim Center, U of T
3. Belmont Plaza, Long Beach
4. Federal Way, Washington
5. Heritage Aquatic Center, Irvine
