Agreed. I swam Longhorn when I was doing my grad work, and Whitney is absolutely fantastic. Ben is still swimming over there, but like many triathletes (outside of the huge AASA group), many are swimming mostly independently at the Y, Lifetime, etc.
I used to work at AASA, and pool is world class there. Brilliant facility.

Most of the guys I know from triathlon who also participate in a masters program do so at the Longhorn program at UT. Slowtwitcher mungub is one of them. I hear very good things about the program.
I haven't met anyone who swims at AASA yet, however they have a beautiful facility. I can list out a bunch of the local programs, but since I am a lone wolf in training I can't give you direct feedback about any of them.
