The aquatics area in the Barnes Center at The Arch is now open. On its first day of usage on Wednesday, Oct. 16, the accessible recreation/lap pool and the Prettyman Spa Pool welcomed many visitors for lap swimming, recreation and aqua exercise classes.

“We are excited to open the doors to this great aquatic complex,” says Matt Hackett, director of recreation in the Barnes Center at The Arch. “The space is unique in that it provides an opportunity for everyone—regardless of swimming ability—to come together for fun and fitness.”

The new aquatics area is an important component of the state-of-the-art health, wellness and recreation complex, bringing an enhanced, more inclusive aquatics experience for the campus community. The space functions as a lap pool, group fitness space and a recreation space.

Dive in movies and other special events are coming soon to the space. Student organizations and campus units will be able to reserve the space for organization functions. Features of the area include a climbing wall above the water and a large screen for viewing movies.
