Re: IIT Madras Swimming Pool

Yeah, the Swimming Pool facility is available at the campus of Indian Institute of Technology IIT Madras

The swimming facility, with its impressive set of diving boards and beginners’ pool that adjoins the larger pool, has always been among IITM’s finest sports facilities.

The swimming pool was constructed in 1976 – interestingly, students helped out with the digging of the pool.

Twice in the recent past, in 2004 and 2008, it underwent repairs, but when, in 2011, the pool closed for renovations, few people anticipated that it would take so long to reopen.

The renovated pool boasts of a new addition – a ramp leading into the beginners’ pool, designed to make the swimming pool accessible to differently abled people.

The pool has been redesigned by the engineering unit and is now slightly bigger than it was in 2011: its length has increased from 49.8m to 50m, which is the full Olympic size, and its width has been increased from 21.77m to 24m.

The shallow beginners’ pool has also been made larger, in addition to being newly equipped with a ramp.

Their swimming pool makes it the first such swimming pool in India, and requested that differently abled persons from outside the campus be allowed to utilise this facility.
