It's summer and time to swim outdoors! Show us where you swim!
We swim at the Roeland Park Aquatic Center, in Roeland Park, Kansas (a suburb of Kansas City, Missouri). The main pool is covered by an air-supported dome in the winter. In May they remove the dome for the summer.
PHOTO 1: Note the four long-course lanes. We swim long-course every Saturday during the winter, and pretty much all the time in the summer. The lanes next to the long-course lanes are short-course meters. If the ropes were turned 90 degrees, the lanes would be short-course yards.
PHOTO 2: If you looked carefully in Photo 1, you saw the bulkhead at the bottom of the long-course lanes. In this photo we're done with practice and they're raising the bulkhead before the pool opens to the public. The bulkhead drops into the bottom of the pool; it is raised by means of an air bladder inside the bulkhead.
PHOTO 3: The end of the pool, showing the 1-meter and 3-meter diving boards.
(Continued in next post... I can't put all of the photos into one post.)

Now that I do masters, I swim with Dynamo Masters at their pool that is closer to my commute between work/home. They have a LCM outdoor pool with a fabric cover. Its really nice to swim in the summer (warm air and water stays just cool enough):
