0087 - Stanford Belardi Pool

Much as it pains this Longhorn to admit, the Avery Aquatic Center on the Stanford campus is probably the greatest outdoor swimming complex in the US. I have had the joy of training with their great Masters team in both of their long course pools, raced here at the '06 Masters World Championships and got to be a spectator at the '11 Junior Nationals where I got to watch a young Katie Ledecky start to make her name on the swimming scene.
