Aquatic & Fitness Center Pool
Our Olympic size pool (50 meters x 25 yards) includes two movable bulkheads, which can divide the pool into two 10-lane by 25-yard pools or reconfigured to an 8-lane by 50-meter pool. There are two 1-meter springboards, two 3-meter springboards and 1-five meter dive platform for competition use only.
All competition spectator seating is located on the observation deck that is accessible from the main lobby of the Aquatic & Fitness Center. We also have a basketball hoop for water basketball in the open recreation area. The pool is accessible with an aquatic lift, and is kept at a comfortable workout temperature between 79-81 degrees.
Also located in the natatorium area is a shallow, warm water pool that is ideal for children of all ages. The temperature is kept at approximately 85 degrees and has a zero depth accessible ramp. A spacious, 16-person hot tub kept around 104 degrees and dry, co-ed sauna are perfect for adults to relax and regenerate after a workout.
