Boston Sports Institute

The Wellesley Sports Center (d.b.a. the Boston Sports Institute) includes a 35,000 SF open and accessibly designed natatorium housing two pools. 

• The large 13-lane competition pool measures 105 x 75 feet with a depth of 4 – 12.5 feet  It has a bulkhead (creating 10 lanes of 25 yards each with 3 perpendicular 25 yard lanes, adjustable to create 10 lanes of 25 meters each), two 1m diving boards, 10 starting blocks, and is kept at a temperature of 79-80 degrees.
• The mezzanine level of the natatorium has spectator seating for approximately 300 overlooking the competition pool.
• The small 3 lane teaching pool measures 23½ x 44 feet with a depth of 4 feet and a temperature of 86-88 degrees.
• The two pools are separated by a wall to allow for appropriate air temperatures above each.
• Both pools are ADA compliant.
• Three changing rooms are available for patrons of the pools – Men’s, Women’s and Family (gender non-specific). For safety, changing rooms are kept locked at all times, prohibiting access from the hallway outside of the natatorium, with entrance only from the wet corridor and pool deck.

The 13 lane competition pool is the 2012 Olympic Trials pool designed by Myrtha Pools. As the 2012 Trials pool, the likes of Michael Phelps, Katie Ledecky, Natalie Coughlin, Cullen Jones, and more qualified for the 2012 Olympic Team while swimming in this pool now located in Wellesley, MA.
