In part one of the series, I wrote about Stowe’s pool, ‘The Swiming Hole’ – named and designed to capture the quaint, easy feel of Vermont. And while it’s certainly a nice place to swim, I think the Rec Center in Bennington actually does a better job representing the states’ culture; the straight-forward, no-nonsense side. It’s set into one of the town’s run-down, old mill neighborhoods, and the facility itself is pretty dreary. But the pool is fine, and it works great if you just want a workout.
Best of all, access only costs you $3, so if you go in the morning (they usually open for adult swim around 6am), you can get in a couple thousand yards, then head down to Sonny’s Blue Ben Diner for a great railroad-car breakfast. All this for less than a single access pass to The Swimming Hole.
