About Aquatics

Welcome to Aquatics

Dive in. Make a splash. It's time to get wet. SouthREC's outdoor pool and pool deck are the place to be. Take advantage of our youth and adult swim lessons; American Red Cross certifications in lifeguarding, CPR and First Aid; or better yet, get in some laps.

Come to have fun. The pool is home to Campus REC's club sport water polo, synchronized swimming and TriCats; plus you can join an intramural pool basketball team, try your hand (or feet) at log rolling, get SCUBA certified, do some slack lining, attend a "dive-in" movie or just lounge around on the pool deck.

SouthREC Pool is Open Again!

We are delighted to announce that the renovations at our Campus Recreation Pool have been completed! After over two months of being closed, the pool is now open again, with several exciting improvements:

• Complete pool resurfacing for a smoother, safer swim
• Repaired and resurfaced pool deck to improve comfort and durability
• Color-changing LED lights for a dynamic atmosphere during evening hours
• New LED display board for up-to-date programming and announcements

Annual and semester pass holders who have a pass valid for any time during closure will have 60 days added to their expiration date.

Come on in, the water's fine!
