BNU: Home of the US 2008 Olympic Team

You know what I found out this weekend? BNU's gymnasium was the training center for the United States 2008 Olympic team for the Beijing 2008 Olympics.

Yes, that means Michael Phelps swam at the same pool I swim in every week, among many other notable Olympian swimmers. Pretty cool, huh?

(This explains why the gym here at BNU is so nice and why they have a long-course--50 meter--pool instead of the normal 25 meter pool.)
