Shawn DeRosa, J.D.
Manager of Aquatic Facilities
The McCoy Natatorium is much more than a swimming pool. We offer instruction and recreation to individuals of all ages, abilities, and interests. We have a wide range of services and programs including aquatics activities for the elderly and disabled, scuba diving lessons, aquatic club activities, aquacise classes, and age-group swimming and diving instruction, to name a few.
Each year we host the YMCA State Swimming Championships, and the Pennsylvania Special Olympics as well as various USA Swimming meets. We are also home to the Pennsylvania Swimming Hall of Fame and Penn State's intercollegiate swimming and diving teams.
The Natatorium pools are available year-'round for instruction, competitive athletics, recreation, intramurals, club sports, and special aquatics events. Lap swimming is available during our open swim hours.
NATATORIUM: A latin word revived in the 20th century to describe an indoor place for swimming. In ancient Rome, a cella natatoria (literally "room for swimming") referred to any swimming pool installed in a separate building. References to a public swimming pool in Rome date from 215 B.C.
