The Campus Recreation Center pool is a 6 lane L-shape running 25 yards by 25 meters. Depth ranges from 3½ ft. in the shallow end to 13 ft. in the diving well. Typically, we try to have two lanes available for lap swimming and the remaining lanes left open for free swim. In addition, the following equipment is available in the pool area: kick boards, pull buoys, fins, paddles, noodles, dumbbells, barbells, a basketball hoop, basketballs, water polo ball, and miscellaneous pool toys.

Handicap Lift

A new Portable Aquatic Lift is available upon request. The purchase of the PAL was made possible by a grant from the Christopher Reeves foundation. This lift is self-operated by the push of a button and 100% waterproof. Please see lifeguards for use of the lift.

Swim Programs

Learn to Swim Program

Five progressive levels of instruction designed to help swimmers of all ages learn stroke techniques, personal water safety skills, and methods of basic water rescue. There is no minimum age to enroll in the learn to swim program. Below are the different levels offered:

• Aquababies A: Developed for children 6 months to 5 years of age and their parents. Level A is for children with little or no prior experience in the water. Parents will be required to be in the water with their children.
• Aquababies B: Developed for children 6 months to 5 years of age and their parents. Level B is designed for children with some experience in the water who require floatation support at all times, are reluctant to submerge (or won't at all), and who benefit from having a parent with them at all times. Parents will be required to accompany their children in the water.
• Level I: Introduction to Water Skills
• Level II: Fundamental Aquatic Skills
• Level III: Stroke Development
• Level IV: Stroke Improvement
• Level V: Stroke Refinement

* All classes meet for 25 minutes.
