Q: Is the pool open to the public?
A: Yes, please see the site’s pool schedule page for our open hours. While you are at it, please take a second to review the pool patron guide.
Q: Where do I park while I’m at the pool?
A: The large lot to the right of the gate house when you enter campus is currently free to park in. Street parking on Richards Road is not recommended, and the small Staff parking lot near the pool is off-limits at all times unless a handicap placard is visible.
Q: What’s the difference between Adult Lap Swim and Recreation Swim?
A: Adult Lap Swimming times are meant solely for adults 18 and older to do a swim workout or water walking workout. Recreation Swim times are meant for all, but are the time for kids and families to join us for enjoying the pool for play and swim. (Please see our guide for Toys and Recreation Swimming before joining us!)
Q: Do I need to sign up or reserve a spot for Fitness Classes?
A: Water Aerobics Classes are first come-first served and do not require a sign up reservation currently, as we can accomodate quite a few people for this activity. Our Stand Up Paddle Board Yoga Classes DO require a sign up reservation, as due to the nature of the class only 6 boards can be used at a time in the current space allowed. (Reserve your spot here!)
Q: Is the pool heated?
A: Yes. This is a competition pool, heated year-round to 79-80 degrees, and the Therapy Spa is heated to 103-104 degrees.
Q: Is the pool salt water or fresh water?
A: We are a chlorinated facility and not using salt as a disinfectant.
Q: Is the facility accesssible and ADA compliant?
A: Yes. We have access ramps, ADA stalls and shower(s), as well as chair lifts for both the pool and the therapy spa.
Q: How would we know if the pool was closed unexpectedly?
A: When we know about it, we will post a “POOL CLOSED MM/DD/YY” message at the top of both the landing page as well as the pool schedule page.
Q: Why can’t I just call to see if you’re open?
A: There is no public phone number to call. The best way to find information is on this very site, under the landing page or the pool schedule page.
Q: Why are the hours subject to change?
A: We are a private college campus, and the hours will reflect what the student population needs are each semester/season.
Q: Can I host a birthday party at the pool?
A: We are sorry that birthday parties are not something we can entertain, as non-student group activities in this facility require thorough vetting and a rental agreement.
Q: Can I buy a pool punchcard pass or daily admission fee online?
A: Not at this time. We accept cash, credit cards and checks at our Staff Office here at the pool.
Q: Why can’t I find any current information on swim lessons?
A: We are not offering swim lessons currently, though we plan to in the future.
Q: Are there any Covid-19 restrictions currently in place?
A: Not at this time, though masking indoors is strongly recommended.
Q: I left something at the pool! Is it still there??
A: We do have a “lost and found” fixture outside between the two locker rooms, next to the swimsuit dryer. More than likely, it is there on the shelves! If you don’t see your item(s), please ask at the front office as higher value things will be placed there for safe keeping.
