IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
New Lap Swim Hours for the 50 meter pool begin on August 20, 2025.
There are changes taking place this fall at the Spartan Recreation and Aquatic Center regarding lap swim times in the 50 meter pool and recreation pool.
These changes enable us to stay in alignment with the Student Union mission statement and standard aquatic practices at universities and colleges.
