Pool Information

The Pool

The Aquatic Center swimming pool is handicap accessible and designed to permit maximum use for lap swimming, water fitness programs swimming lessons, and leisure. The 9,000-square-foot facility is 37 x 75 feet and provides a six-lane lap pool with depths ranging from four feet to six feet four inches. Water temperature is maintained between 83-84 degrees.

Vision

The Aquatic Center at Penn State Harrisburg was planned by a group of committed citizens, elected officials and administrators from five local municipalities, and Penn State Harrisburg. Their vision creates a partnership among Highspire, Londonderry Township, Lower Swatara Township, Middletown, Royalton, and Penn State Harrisburg thereby making it possible to construct a facility that will give the communities and the University access to affordable year-round recreational swimming.
