Aquatics

Serious and casual swimmers alike will feel at home in the Aquatic Center. Our 25-yard lap pool contains six individual swimming lanes, and feeds into a spacious leisure pool featuring bubble benches and a current channel. We even have basketball hoops and volleyball nets that can be set up at any time (just ask a lifeguard). The Aquatic Center also offers patrons use of a hot tub and sauna, perfect for relaxation or sports therapy.

Our staff works year-round to develop programs to suit our patrons’ needs. If you have a suggestion for a program you’d like to see, please feel free to speak with a lifeguard or send us a message at aquatics@butler.edu.
