Are there any pools or other public swimming areas near Harper's Ferry. I'm bringing a cross country team to stay at Highacre House for a week and I know they'd like to swim. Please don't say the rivers.

Try Jefferson memorial park in C town or Brunswick pool in MD. I won't mention the excellent swimming holes right there in both the doah and potomac.
Whats wrong with the river?
I've swam at the confluence when rafting once. But I wouldn't recommend it as a swimming hole per se.
The Potomac River has dangerous rapids in that area.
Yeah, this is a public school trip. I think the school board would frown on me taking them to the river to swim with no lifeguards.

Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

Greenbrier State Park is a 20 minute drive or a 20 mile hike up the AT. They've a got lake you can swim in.

Lovettsville, VA (right around the corner up 340 then down 17) has a community center with a swimming pool. There's a fee to swim and the pool has lifeguards.
2,000 miler. Still keepin' on keepin' on.
Thanks for the advice everyone. We tried Lovettsville but it was at capacity. So we ended up doing a tubing trip. With 100+ heat indexes and Highacre not being air-conditioned it was a nice trip.
