Haverford, Reed, Grinnell, or Williams

I’ve shared some of these posts with my son and he seems to be favoring Haverford, Grinnell, and Reed (in that order) right now. The honor code at Haverford mentioned above was one of the major selling points for him along with the customs program and the non-gender-segregated floors and bathrooms. Oberlin didn’t make his final cut because he had a bit of an uncomfortable occurrence when he visited and didn’t feel like the students were as serious there. One concern he has about Haverford is the lack of a swimming pool; while he doesn’t require varsity swimming, he thinks it would be nice to have easy access to one. Does anyone know if there is one at Bryn Mawr or Swarthmore that Haverford students have access to?

And he is actually a very talented swimmer–he’s made states in 50 free since freshman year and 100 back last year as well as being on a couple relay teams (this is just his varsity).
