 Karl
Michael Pool
Dartmouth swimmers and divers
have the advantage of exceptional pool and weight-training facilities.
The Big Green swimming complex features two pools with a total of
fifteen 25-yard lanes as well as two 50-meter lanes. The cornerstone is
the Karl Michael Pool which features eight racing lanes and seating for
1,200 spectators. Built in 1962 and designed by former Dartmouth swim
captain R. Jackson Smith '36, the Michael Pool was host to the 1968 NCAA
Men's Swimming and Diving Championship. In 1970, it was formally named
in honor of the legendary Big Green swim coach who headed the Dartmouth
program from 1939-70. The Michael Pool's diving area features one and
three meter boards with Durafirm and Maxiflex equipment and a water well
12 to 14-1/2 feet deep. Adjacent is the Spaulding Pool, a 10 by 25
yard pool constructed in 1932. The walls surrounding Spaulding still
feature the beautiful mosaic tile installed during the original
construction phase 84 years ago.
 Manley
Weight Room
The John and Carla Manley
Intercollegiate Fitness and Training Center opened in December of 1997
is designed to give varsity athletes at Dartmouth the best opportunity
to develop the proper conditioning required by their particular sport.
The Manley Weight Room, featuring 3,000 square feet of space with
state-of-the-art equipment, was made possible through the generosity of
Dartmouth alum John M. Manley '40 and his wife Carla. The facility is
situated in the College's Alumni Gymnasium. Opening the new facility
relieved overcrowding in the Berry Center's Kresge Weight Room, which is
used by other undergraduates as well as Dartmouth community members.
 In
the Manley Weight Room, Dartmouth student-athletes undergo effective
strength, power, plyometric, agility, flexibility and conditioning
programs.
The strength and conditioning staff - made up of Director Bob Miller and
Assistant Director Jane Taylor -- is dedicated to creating a physical
and mental advantage for Dartmouth's student-athletes through hard work,
discipline and sacrifice. Under the direct supervision of the strength
and conditioning staff, student-athletes are trained according to the
demands of each sport.
