SWIMMING

There are plenty of places to cool off here in the Valley. Embrace the fresh, alpine waters of the White Mountains by exploring various waterfalls and cliff-jumping sites. Or stroll down to Town Square and cool off in Corcoran's Pond, which boasts panoramic mountain views in addition to a floating swim-up dock.

Looking to simply relax by the pool while the kids run free? The White Mountain Athletic Club is a splash-tastic paradise, with a 1,600 square-foot heated "splash pad" offering a wide variety of water soaking features, a 25-meter pool, family play areas, underwater benches, deck jets, underwater color lighting, a "pool temperature" whirlpool spa overlooking the White Mountains, plus built-in basketball and pool volleyball amenities. They also have a beach volleyball court and food/drink cabanas!
