The best place to swim IMO is at the George Mason University Aquatic Center in Fairfax, VA about 10 mins outside the beltway. This is were I swim. Its a 50M pool but is usually set-up for 25M with a gazillion lanes. It is quite a facility, check it out at http://aquatics.gmu.edu/

As far as closer to Washington you can check out GWU and Georgetown as well as the local Sport&Health clubs.

The George Mason facility is great but it's 20 miles from the center of DC. If you are stuck in the city I recommend the YMCA on Rhode Island Avenue, NW. It's about 1 mile from the White House. Sorry I don't have more info but you should be able to find it on the web.
