On campus:

When you turn into the school grounds, pass a guard gate, you then ascend a hill. Continue strait. Expect a lot of school construction on your right. The road is a bit torn up from construction, but continue around to the rear of the school and the parking area is near the football field. Park and walk to enter the school building through door 16.

CV has the ability to host two water polo games or else have a nice warm-up space in the other pool. The other pool is shallow at the far wall. The shallow pool would be a great place to play SKWIM while the deep end was for the older folks playing water polo.

guys on the bench — In 2018, a major school rehab is being conducted and the school building around the existing pool is getting a major overhaul. The blue wall was a temporary barrier.

In October, 2019, CV's pool was the site of the Collegiate Water Polo Association DIII Men's Eastern Tournament. The final game was won by Johns Hopkins University over Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Even hosted by Washington & Jefferson College.

Of note, the bulkhead was lowered and the competitive pool was made longer than 25-yards.

CV pool was a bit dark, but it was long enough with the bulkhead down. The goals were an additional distance away from each other. The goals were on loan from Pitt. The side lines were the connectors for making the 50-meter ropes.
