The "Scrap" Chandler Natatorium is a modern aquatic facility situated within the Student Recreation Center at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA. It features an 8-lane, 25-yard competition pool, a 16-foot deep diving well with 1-meter and 3-meter springboards, and a leisure pool equipped with a current channel, bubble bench, and a vortex.
The competition pool maintains a temperature between 78-80 degrees Fahrenheit, while the leisure pool is consistently kept at 82 degrees Fahrenheit.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The facility is highly praised for its clean and spacious pool, excellent viewing balcony, and warm, welcoming, and great staff and lifeguards, making it a well-run establishment suitable for large swim meets. However, significant drawbacks include extremely difficult and distant parking due to ongoing construction, and uncomfortably hot bleachers during events.
Reviews
Parking is a hassle. Horrible, horrid, inexcusable. Available parking is so far, it is better to learn how to ride camels and start living like bedouins. That's how far the available parking is. All around construction. It is nice to see the are developing and I I believe these are developing issues but still a huge nuisance.
Nice for large swim meets! Super hot in the bleachers though 😔
Excellent viewing balcony to watch all the action!
Pool is clean and spacious, and the staff are warm and welcoming.
A clean well run facility with great lifeguards!
