Student Recreation Center Aquatics Facility

The UNCW Student Recreation Center Aquatics Facility includes an Indoor Pool, an Outdoor Pool, and Patio Deck.

The Indoor Pool is an 8 lane, 25 yards and ranges from 3 feet to 7 feet deep to accommodate extended hours for recreational and lap swim, fitness, adventure, competitive sports, and special events programs.

The Outdoor Pool is a seasonal facility (April through September) that is in the shape of the Seahawk. It is a leisure pool equipped with built in benches and bubble jets. Included on the patio is plenty of furniture for lounging, ideal for a quick break between classes!

Lap and Recreational Swimming Schedule

Lap Swimming Hours - During Lap Swim hours, all 8 lanes will be utilized for traditional fitness swimming, including the shallow area.
