Aquatics

Aquatics, as part of Campus Recreation serves to provide programs and facilities for formal and informal aquatic recreation for the St. Mary's University community. There are currently two pools for use on the campus, an indoor pool in the AA&CC and the outdoor pool behind Treadaway Hall. Any currently enrolled students, faculty and staff with their Rattler card may enjoy the pool.

Lifeguarding opportunities are available during the fall/spring semesters.
