I'd want to take a dip here. Except I'm not American.

Frio River in Texas, near the headwaters. Perfect clarity, temperature, water quality, etc. Swimming with the little fishes all around. Interesting things to look at when you swim. Water so clean you can probably bottle it and sell it for drinking water. I can't imagine anything better.

US Masters held Summer Nationals here after the Olympic Trials in 2012. I was able to go and swim a couple of events. Absolutely the most amazing swim experience I have ever had. Soaked in the atmosphere during morning warm ups. Swimming backstroke was fun, looking up at the scoreboard overhead. Pool was fast!

Wonder if they'll do that again in '16?

I'm assuming that I would be allowed to swim at US Masters Summer Nationals, even though I don't live in the states.

Spring Lake, San Marcos, Texas- spring fed lake with perfect clarity as well. Is closed to the public save a few small events/year and is the cleanest body of water in the country I believe. It is amazing!

Having swam in some great pools in the past I was thinking of the Sydney Olympic pool.

For OW maybe the Greek islands.

Anywhere I could pee without the accompanying stigma. Not a fish though. Do fish pee?

I'm pretty sure that Hugh Hefner has a pool I'd be willing to scope out.

Boilermaker Aquatic Center at Purdue, built long after I graduated. When I was in school in the '70's the pool was a low-ceiling affair in the basement of ancient Lambert Fieldhouse. Best memories were of the Doc Councilman's Indiana teams coming up for dual meets with Mark Spitz & co.

I loved swimming at the Nat. Kinda fun to be so slow in waters where so many have gone so fast.

Nassau County Aquatic Center on Long Island; I used to swim here when it was pretty new. Now, sadly, it has never been maintained. I was there about a year ago and everywhere I looked something was broken and rusting. That and the Danunzio pool at Princeton are the nicest pools I've seen.

If I could swim anywhere, I'm going to Waimea Bay all summer long:

619M long! Too bad it's only 18" deep. Clearly the designer was not a swimmer. Lets start a fundraiser to dig it out to 4' and ass some lane ropes. Gonna need some really heavy duty cable and anchors for the amount tension those puppies would need to stay straight at about 1/3 mile.

1. Bowdoin College. 18 lanes, 25 yds, as the lanes get deeper toward the diving well there is a little shelf to stand on. Pool tiles are white, not blue, and the pool is very well-lit, so the whole place feels bright and warm. Both spacious and cozy.

2. Bath YMCA pool. Like Bowdoin, white tiles, a bright space. Lanes go deep to shallow. (The pool at my current school is all one depth and the one at my former university had some deep lanes and some shallow lanes - I like lanes that go deep to shallow).

3. Stanford because I've never swum there and would like to have that opportunity. Same thing with the Santa Clara pool where Tom Wilkens and the other Gold in the Water athletes trained.

4. I would like to swim in an outdoor short course yard pool that has a digital clock. The outdoor pools I swim at have clocks in bad places and I can never see them enough to get in a good workout. I like digital clocks.

ETA - open water
Lake: Echo Lake on MDI --- Maine lake water is the best tasting and best feeling lake water anywhere
Ocean: Somes Sound (also MDI, Maine) --- only fjord on the east coast and I swam the length of it (5 mi) several years ago. That was one heck of an endorphin high.

maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine

I'm assuming that you mean on the east coast of the US. Newfoundland has several fjords. Not sure I would swim in them though, they are really cold!
