The Facility
The Natatorium is a 40-meter indoor stretch pool with the capacity to have 8 lanes equipped with starting blocks. A bulkhead divides the shallow end (4.5 ft) from the deep end (14 feet) and can be adjusted to accommodate a 25-meter or 25-yard shallow or deep water lane. There are three diving boards, two 1-meter and one 3-meter. The pool also has daktronics (electronic timing system) and an LED scoreboard to host swimming competitions. The venue is compliant to National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) requirements for swimming and diving, and hosts the conference championship, Liberal Arts Meet. Alongside the pool is a hot tub and locker rooms. The observation deck seating capacity is 250.
Please Note – During 4:30-6:30 pm, all students and athletes of Principia will have priority usage of the athletic facilities. We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.
