At a Glance

Pool 30 is a six-lane, 25-yard pool. Walking through the men's or women's general locker rooms in the basement of Pearson and McGonigle Halls will provide you access to this pool. Please see one of the lifeguards on duty for access to the women's general or faculty locker rooms and men's general or faculty locker rooms. 

The Campus Recreation aquatics program provides informal recreational opportunities, such as lap swimming, structured group fitness programs, special events and certifications in Pool 30. Certified lifeguards are always on duty during all our recreational aquatic programs and events.
