What makes your pool unique?

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!

  • 1. My main pool has a giant wall of windows that looks out on a lake - maybe not unique but nice! 2. My "spare" pool (circa 1920) is 4 lanes wide and used to be 33.3 yards long. At some point the Y decided to make it into two separate pools so now a wall with a 5-foot wide walkway divides the 25yd pool from a shallow "learning" pool that uses the remainder 3. My rarely used, once in a great while pool is at WPI and evidently Mike Ross swims there. I'm hearing talk about a master's team starting up at WPI, so this may be my main pool soon...hope so!
