UA Campus Recreation Pool

Wonderful swimmimg pool. The AC in the shower and locker rooms is very cold though (quite wasteful; they should rank it up warmer a few degrees in the summer to save on energy). Many of the showers don't work well (water pressure is low, or there's no hot water, etc.), they also seem to be designed in a wasteful way in terms of space and sometimes you have to wait during peak times as a result: each shower is very long and spacious with thick "walls" between one and the next; there's a door, a foyer-type space with THREE hangers, and after that space, a curtain, and behind that curtain the actual individual shower. You could easily fit twice as many showers and save on construction, maintenance, cleaning and replacement curtains with a more traditional design like open showers, or showers with thin dividers in between (there'll be more to clean than with open showers, but still better than the current design), and only one curtain to close off each "cubicle" (the curtains will still get disgusting with mold/fungi though, unless cleaned/replaced often, which increases costs, quite unnecessarily, really). The benches are also a bit weird: there's no bench at all next to or in front of the guest lockers.

If you are planning to bring a minor make sure to bring a passport or birth certificate in-person “not a photo of it” or they will not let you bring them in.

Ample number of 25-yard lanes for lap swimming. The water temperature always seems close to perfect for long lap swims. The only time it's a little too warm is late in the day in July and August, but all things considered they still do a good job keeping it in a tolerable range.

Good place, awesome facilities. Pool is one of the best in the town.
