Here is a thread for the worst pools that you competed at.
Mine is University Of Pittsburgh. That is the worst pool ever. I don't know if it was the pool or the situation at the time but I am swam very crappy at that pool.

Knox College. The lanes are so narrow I hit my hands even doing free. I was always surprised that no one broke their hands or wrists doing fly. It is dark and wet everywhere. It is almost impossible to get dry anywhere even near the pool. Over the years, the gym has been transformed into one of the best facilities of any of the small little Liberal Arts colleges of the Midwest. However, I don't think a dime has been spent on the pool since it was built. Somehow had an All American swimmer in this pool in the early 70s.
Another really bad pool was at DePauw in the Bowman gym. A great gym, it had little nooks and crannies all over with great stairs to run. It doesn't exist anymore. Probably the only good thing to ever happen at one of the most racist, conservative colleges in the country (I hope I get in trouble for that statement). I guarded there during faculty swim during lunch hour. It was very small but still couldn't see all of the corners. Some one could have drown in th northwest deep corner and still be there.
My niece's husband was a prof at ECU. And as for the U of Pittsburgh, one place I am thinking of moving to. Trying to find a master's program was really hard.
