Free Summer Access to Blodgett Pool

In partnership with Harvard University Athletics, Ed Portal members receive free summer access to Harvard's Blodgett Pool, located in the Murr Center at 65 N. Harvard Street, Allston. The pool is open for free swim Monday through Friday evenings between June 23 through August 14 from 5-9 p.m.

Before accessing the pool, you must first receive a pool access card from the Harvard Ed Portal. Pool access cards are free and may be obtained from the Ed Portal during normal business hours.

After receiving a pool access card, Ed Portal members may travel to the Blodgett Pool. Members should expect to need to present their pool access card (one card per person) at the Murr Center front desk and fill out the Harvard Recreation Guest Form. The guest fee will be waived. Members must also bring their own towels.

Before traveling to the Blodgett Pool every time you wish to swim, we recommend checking the pool schedule to remain updated about unexpected closures and holiday hours.
