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.
Dad's Club YMCA 50 Meter Pool - pre-aerator days. August 76 State Age Group Championships- they dumped 2 tons of ice in the pool between prelims and finals and the ice was gone and the water temp was still in the mid 80s.
They also had steel gutter covers which provided a high flat wall with a cheese grater surface for us to do our turns on.
I agree it was a lousy pool,but for some reason I always swam fast there.(I also almost always bumped my head on the board over the block where they marked your time.)
