GET IN THE POOL

Two Olympic sized pools and a 25-meter warm water instructional pool make up the aquatic complex that holds more than 1 million gallons of water. These three pools are home to Southwestern College’s aquatics programs including the Jaguar swim and water polo teams and SOL Swim Club. Along with hosting intercollegiate swim meets, elite athletes and Olympians, we offer master swim practice and swimming lessons for all ages.

Members will enjoy lap swimming hours and a variety of aqua aerobic classes. Should you want to focus your fitness journey exclusively in the water, JAWS offers Aquatic Only memberships for SWC Students, SWC Employees and the Community.
