The Avery stadium pool at Stanford. This is the main short course pool at Stanford, with lots of seating for big meets. It was set at 25 M and used for warm-ups during the worlds meet. It was also the scene of the opening ceremonies.

The Maas Diving Center tower and pool at Stanford. This 25M pool was used for warm-ups during the worlds meet. Note the lack of lines on the bottom or crosses on the walls, which made warmup a little confusing.

Belardi Pool

Sat, 12 Aug 2006 19:29:07 -0400

The Belardi Pool at Stanford. This is the newer of the two long course pools. Several people commented that they thought it was faster than the Baker pool. It was for me, but I also swam better as the week went on and only swam in this pool on my last day.

Baker Pool

The Baker Pool at Stanford. This is the older of the two long course pools - the one that had to be "shaved down" in order to allow for a 50 M course with touch pads at both ends.
