About

Indoor pool available for public swimming at the Aquatic Center.

The 50-meter pool at the Ohio University Aquatic Center is typically maintained at a temperature between 79-81 degrees Fahrenheit. The separate Therapy Pool is generally kept warmer, ranging from 90-92 degrees Fahrenheit.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the facility are mixed. Positive feedback highlights a great, clean, and well-organized facility with an Olympic pool, appreciated for its relaxing atmosphere and good management during swim meets. However, significant negative points include frustration with inaccurate online hours leading to wasted trips, which is deemed unprofessional. Spectator experience is also criticized, citing excessive heat, difficult-to-navigate bleachers lacking stairs, and the absence of concessions or vending machines during long events. Additionally, parking for non-students is described as challenging and confusing due to unclear pay-by-phone systems, and one reviewer noted the absence of a hot tub.

Always loved this place. But I been getting really frustrated with them saying they are open wasting a lot of people's time and when u get there they are closed. It's upsetting a lot of people that they don't update their website properly and making everyone waste their time like this is very disrespectful and unprofessional. Untill this is fixed my 5 stars stays at a 1 star and that's a good reason for it in my opinion. Very upset with this all together.

Nice facility. No hot tub ? 😢 Parking was a challenge for non student pay by phone ?? I've never tried that! So that was stressful to figure out w/ o a.clue & what app to trust. Where is best place to park?

Love this amazingly-organized, quiet and relaxing spot at Ohio University to treat myself to a very real treat that features an Olympic swimming pool, diving board and other non-student swim areas

Perhaps the worst pool I have ever been to as a spectator. Way too hot, bleachers have no stairs so not easy to get up or down especially when packed. There was no concession stand or even a vending machine available. Horrible 5 hour swim meet.
