Morse Pool is home to the Babson men’s and women’s swimming & diving programs. The facility features a six-lane, 25-yard pool with one-meter and three-meter diving boards, bleacher seating for 150 spectators and an electronic LED scoreboard. In addition to varsity and high school swim meets and practices, the pool is available to members of the Babson community and Webster Center members for general use.
Originally constructed in 1949, Babson's pool was officially dedicated on November 10 of that year in honor of Colonel John E. Millea, former instructor in production and Dean of the Faculty who left Babson to fight in World War II. The pool was later renamed the Elizabeth Morse Swimming Center in honor of the mother of Richard M. Genius, whose generous gift to the College in 1988 helped refurbish the swimming facility.
