Roofing Project Has Begun! (May-August 2012)

On Monday, April 30th, the Office of Physical Plant commenced a roofing project at the McCoy Natatorium. This project requires that we close the indoor pools as well as the dive well.

The indoor space within the Natatorium will be completely covered with plastic to help prevent dripping tar from staining the interior. Access to the pool decks will be prohibited given the possibility of falling objects and/or dripping tar.

Depending on weather conditions and the ability to keep the project on schedule, we may be able to open the Race Pool and/or Dive Well in late July. However, we cannot make any guarantees that this will occur.

White Building Pool will remain available WEEKDAYS for lap swimming beginning Monday, May 7th on the following summer schedule: * 7:00 AM - 9:00 AM * 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM * 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM

As always, swimmers will need to share lanes. Circle swimming is required whenever there are more than three people per lane. Please note that the White Building Pool will remain closed weekends throughout the summer.

If you plan to swim at the White Building Pool during their posted hours of operation, an Indoor Pool pass for the summer may be a cost-effective option for you.

Annual "Indoor Pool" Passes may not be used at the Outdoor Pool during this project. This was communicated both online and on the registration form at the time the annual pass was purchased. Those wishing to swim at the Outdoor Pool, should consider purchasing a cost-saving multi-pass ticket.

Those wishing to purchase a Summer Semester Indoor Pool pass for the White Building may do so in our main office at the McCoy Natatorium between 8am and 4pm. Given the possibility that the Natatorium pools may be closed for the duration of the summer please consider carefully whether you wish to purchase this pass. No refunds will be given. Should the Natatorium pools become available during the summer, the indoor pool summer semester pass would also be valid at the Natatorium. Please remember at this time we do not know whether indoor swimming at the Natatorium will even be possible this summer. Thus, if you purchase this pass you do so knowing that it will likely be recognized only at the White Building pool.

We thank you for your patience and understanding while we make the necessary improvements to our aquatic facilities.
