WOW! The pool is AMAZING and huge and definitely unforgettable!
When you walk in you have to go through like 10 army guys that check and make sure you have your credentials (which are really big and have your picture on them). In the main pool there is a huge block in the middle that has 6 screens all around it. It is so cool! Like Phillips Arena or something.
In prelims there were so many people; you wouldn't think, because its prelims, that there would be alot of spectators but there were! And finals were crazy!! The atmosphere was so pumped up and intense that you got chills watching people swim, haha. When they gave out awards for the first place finisher, they turned out all the lights and only had neon spotlights going . Behind the winner's stand there was a waterfall that flashed the name of the person who won on it too! Also, when World Records were set, fire shot from the side of the pool! SO COO L :)
Our first race was really exciting! We had to go to the ready room and wait to march out. They had a tv in the ready room so you could see the heats before you race. Afterwards we had to walk down a flight of stairs which was really hard after just racing!! Ha!
This has been such a great experience and definitely way different than any of the meets we've ever been too! And we took lots of pics to show everyone!!! :)
