You would be surprised what schools don't have swimming pools. When I was at Northwestern the pool was so pathetic they had their home meets at Evanston Township HS. I am not making this up. (The last time I drove through campus I was pleased to see there is a new natatorium). The coolest thing about it was seeing Mark Spitz's name on the pool record board. I played pickup basketball in that gym about 8 days out of 7 and it never got old seeing his name on the board.
>Not all schools have swimming pools, but it is true that almost every school from 1st grade to 12th has football, baseball, and soccer fields (unless it is a magnet school). Sometimes they are combined (the track may run around the football field)...

>>That's normal. I remember, when I was at highschool I saw an announcement at our school : "USA seek for good girl football player students.". If your people will like football one day, your team can be champion at man world cup. You have money and 250 million people. Your people can do sport easly... Just one of our university has swimming pool there. I know even your elementary schools have... My daughter at elementary school. We're in Istanbul!.. There isn't any sport room or field at her school...

>>>>I refereed this afternoon and one of my ARs was a woman who was tremendously excited about the outcome. A few years ago when many of the women on the U.S. team were juniors she and her husband served as chaperones while they were playing in a tournament in Chicago. She said they were delightful young ladies and surprisingly like male athletes -- self-confident to the point of cockiness, raucous, amorous. She said one of them (she said the name but I'm not going to repeat it <g>) who had a boyfriend back in California said if she didn't see him again soon she was going to burst. Terri said they were doing Indian leg wrestling on the rug.
