DIRECTIONS
Competition Pool located in Boston University's Fitness and Recreation Center is home the the men's and women's swimming & diving program. This beautiful facility features two swimming pools to accommodate all types of users. The Recreation Pool serves special groups and the general student population, while the Competition Pool accommodates the varsity teams who compete within the Patriot League, and other lap-swimming individuals, classes, or competing groups.
The Competition Pool is an amazing 10-lane by 16-lane pool with the ability to change from meters to yards by use of a movable bulkhead, set according to activity. The depth slopes from 7 feet to 13.5 feet, appropriate for water polo, synchronized swimming, and diving.
In 2020, a new state-of-the-art scoreboard with four pace clocks that include the ability to run scoring for swimming, diving, water polo, and synchronized swimming was installed. Ranging 9.5 feet high and 16 feet wide, the scoreboard is comprised of 400,000 pixels and can include text, graphics, motion graphics and animations for fans to enjoy.
The Recreation Pool has many features for working out, playing, and just plain relaxing. Jog against a water current in the lazy river, join a shallow water aerobics class, or get a group of friends together to play water volleyball! This smaller pool also features three 20-yard lanes, a zero depth ramp for wheelchairs, and will slope from three feet to five feet in depth. At 86 degrees, the warm water will be a great therapeutic space, as well as ideal for teaching beginners and children.
