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 Saturday nights between midnight and 3:00 am, either as part of the sequence of the entire triathlon, or by itself, with participants 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.
