About
The Donald B. Canham Natatorium, located at 500 E Hoover Ave on the University of Michigan's Ann Arbor campus, is a premier aquatic facility. Opened in 1988, it serves as the home for U-M varsity swimming & diving, water polo, and synchronized swimming, in addition to hosting major competitions and supporting recreational use.
The main competition pool at the Donald B. Canham Natatorium is typically maintained at a temperature of 78-79°F (25.5-26.1°C).
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The facility features an amazing pool, suitable for practice and notably, where Michael Phelps once swam. However, it is not designed for swim meets, which is considered unfortunate for a Division 1 school. A major drawback is the locker room, described as very small and often packed, though overall, the facility is still considered great.

Might be a great practice pool. Not designed for a swim meet though. Unfortunate for a division 1 school.
