What are the benefits of having a heated swimming pool at a New England camp?
Walt Whitman is on Lake Armington, an unusually beautiful mountain lake, on which campers enjoy our extensive boating program. However, unlike a heated pool, clear mountain lakes are not the best place to teach kids to swim. It’s difficult to keep children in cold water for any significant length of time. Our heated Olympic-size pool enhances our recreational, instructional and competitive swim programs. Campers never complain about instructional swim and stay in the water as long as they possibly can at free swim. Of course, they always have the option to swim in the lake as well, and many do, particularly in hot weather.
