I thought of this topic while walking back to my car after practice on Friday. Can you think of anything that (possibly) makes your pool or its setting unique? Here's my example: there's a fee for parking on campus at the U of Washington, so I park on the street in neighborhood just off campus when I swim there. The walk between the car and the pool involves crossing a drawbridge, so sometimes after practice we are delayed for a few minutes while the drawbridge is up!

My pool is outdoors and its deck is sunken about 20 to 25 feet below the elevation for the rest of the campus. So when you're walking by the diving tower, you're just about at its halfway point. The diving well and the main pool are bordered by large sinking cement steps on either side, which act as seating. The pool is completely surrounded by athletics facility buildings.
The other pool I use, at San Jose State, is slightly longer than 50m. It's also dirty as heck, but what I like about it is they keep it at a slightly colder temp than my main pool.
