About

The Williams College Pool, located within the Towne Field House at Meacham St, Williamstown, MA 01267, USA, serves as a comprehensive aquatic facility for the college and the surrounding community. It primarily features the Decker Pool, an 8-lane, 25-yard competition pool used for lap swimming, training, and competitive events. The facility also includes the smaller Lecroy Pool, which is often utilized for swim lessons, therapy, and recreational purposes, offering a warmer water environment.

The main Decker Pool, designed for lap and competitive swimming, is typically maintained at temperatures ranging from 78-82°F (25.5-27.8°C). The smaller Lecroy Pool, which caters to lessons and therapy, is kept at a warmer temperature, generally between 85-90°F (29.4-32.2°C).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews consistently praise the facility as a very nice, clean, Olympic-sized pool. It is highlighted for its excellent accessibility features, including floor-to-ceiling windows for handicapped viewers, making it inclusive for all. While generally not open to the public, it hosts well-regarded events with respectful crowds and is noted for inspiring an enjoyable atmosphere. Swim lessons, particularly for children, receive high commendation for their low student-to-instructor ratio and effectiveness, with children showing significant progress. The pool's location in a quaint New England town also adds to its appeal.

My daughter is on the USA swimming team and she had 2 meets at this pool last May. It is a really nice olympic size pool. There are bleachers for people to sit to watch the events. I am in a wheelchair and cannot get to the bleachers, but on the side of the pool is a hallway with floor-to-ceiling windows for somebody who is handicapped can still see the pool. It's a very clean pool located in a very quaint New England town.

I can say our 7 year old is starting lessons with the swim and diving team and we have done Lessons at many other places and none even compare. The williams college team does 2 kids to 1 adult ratio and sometimes even 1 on 1. The kids love it and our son is learning to swim too without his bubble which is amazing.

Great. This is an experience. Not open to the public. But the events are excellent, and the crowds cheer respectfully. I am inspired every time I watch a practice or see a swimming meet.
