crim dell

the crim dell is a pond on the william and mary campus. there is a picturesque bridge across it, a popular image in the college’s promotional materials. tour guides falsely claim the bridge was dubbed the “2nd most romantic spot on a college campus” by playboy. the pond is covered and filled with algae and other slimy plants, and supposedly has high fecal content. this, however, does not stop the college’s improv troupe from submerging their faces in a bucket of crim dell water for their “bucket o’ death” routine.

the crim dell is also a popular spot to go skinny dipping as part of the william and mary triathlon tradition. as students bare their bodies and jump giddily and uninhibited into the pond with their friends, it is not unusual to hear screams of “stuff’s touching me… everywhere!” as the aquatic vegetation carresses every square inch of their bare bodies, creating a stimulating, sensual, and unforgettable experience.

this skinny dipping most often takes place on friday and sat-rday nights between midnight and 3:00 am, either as part of the sequence of the entire triathlon, or by itself, with partic-p-nts completing the other two thirds of the tradition at other times. students often jump into the pond from near the bridge, and swim around in that area, or swim the entire length of the pond and emerge, naked and wet, onto the access road between the sadler center and the integrated sciences center.
the bravest students will not bring a helping friend, diving naked into the water with everybody they came with. others will bring a friend to carry clothes and towels. either way, as towelie will remind you, “don’t forget to bring a towel!”

you will emerge, in your wet, naked beauty before your swim mates, and potentially your helping friend. for a glorious moment, before you use the towels, you will see each other stark naked, with all your friends’ soft and dangly bits bathed in dreamy moonlight and the cool night air. this is the perfect time to drink in the sight of youthful, milky t-ts and powerful young c-cks, both firm from the influence of the water as well as the electrifying atmosphere of mutual nudity and exhibitionism.

you will never forget the amazing night you spent naked with your friends, skinny dipping in the crim dell. the next time you and your friends find yourselves walking about campus on a warm night, suggest swimming in the crim dell as a fun bonding experience, and feel the magic of nudity in those waters which make up a central part of william and mary.
