Ray Williamson Pool

A six lane 25-yard pool was built in 1970 as an outdoor pool. In 1977 a roof was added to fully enclose the pool. The pool is the home site for Bainbridge Island High School Swimming, Diving, Water Polo teams, Bainbridge Island Swim Club (BISC), and Bainbridge Aquatic Masters team (BAM). In 2025 and 2026, the pool will undergo a "rehabilitatation in its current configuration. The project is crucial in ensuring that the pool can continue to meet the needs of our growing community."  Subscribe to the Aquatic Center weekly pool splash report sent out every Friday at 4pm for frequent updates.
