AQUATICS
The Aquatic Center in the Student Recreation Center has an 8-lane lap pool, leisure pool, spa and vortex. Patrons may drop-in swim anytime the pool is open. Outside the Aquatic Center, we have a patio with lounge chairs and a small event lawn. Every semester we offer various scheduled activities. The current semester's programs are listed below.
The Aquatic Center closes 15 minutes before the closing time of the Student Recreation Center.
