Aquatics
Rec Sports offers open swimming, aquatic programs, and lessons at various times throughout each year in the RPAC Aquatic Center. In addition to our recreation pools, aquatics also hosts the leisure spa and sauna areas. View the hours of the RPAC Natatorium.
Patrons are always welcome for open swimming and lap swimming each day. Specialized activities are also offered through community programs, child and youth instructional programs, group fitness, sport clubs, family hours, and intramural sports.
The Department of Recreational Sports is also home to The Ohio State Swim Club, a USA Swimming sanctioned age group competitive swim team, and The Ohio State Diving Club, a USA Diving, year-round competitive team for athletes of all levels.
