Imagine the excitement of swimming in a pool where a legendary swimmer earned a Summer Olympics gold medal for his or her nation. Or rowing on a lake where world-class athletes once scored Summer Olympics gold. Or attending events at stadiums and other architectural landmarks built especially for Summer Olympics participants and spectators.
