About
RPI Private Robison Pool, located at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, is a 25-yard, six-lane indoor pool. It serves as the primary training and competition venue for RPI's men's and women's swimming and diving teams. The facility includes a separate diving well with one-meter and three-meter boards, spectator seating for 400, an adjacent whirlpool, and an outdoor patio. It supports varsity, club, and recreational swimming activities.
Specific and consistently published temperature information for the Robison Pool is not readily available on official RPI sources. University pools for competitive and recreational use are generally maintained within a range suitable for these activities, typically between 78-82°F (25.5-27.8°C), but an exact figure for Robison Pool is not publicly listed.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The facility is generally well-regarded, particularly for its large, clean, and fast pool, which is ideal for swim meets. Reviewers appreciate the spacious bleacher area, good accessibility, and respectful staff. However, parking is a consistent point of dissatisfaction, described as confusing, overcrowded, and poorly marked. There are also mixed opinions on locker room cleanliness, with some noting them as 'just fine' while others, specifically the female locker room, are criticized for not being consistently clean, especially during multi-day events. A minor note about the skylights needing cleaning was also made.

Beautiful pool with easy access. Coming from out of town was no issue.

I've been here for several youth club meets. The pool itself is fantastic, and the locker rooms are just fine. The parking however is confusing and overcrowded. There's some street parking, but the lots for weekend use are not well marked and hard to find. That being said, the bleachers are nice, and there's lots of room to walk between the bleachers and the railing. I love the huge skylights, although they need a wash 😁

The pool was great. Very clean and big. Staff was more than respectful!

The locker room (referencing the female one) has never really been super clean, and for longer, 3 day swim meets, would not be cleaned over those days, causing it to be pretty gross. Besides that, the pool is fast and I typically PRed in these waters.
