Sullivan Aquatic Center
The Sullivan Aquatic Center was named in honor of Jack Sullivan '59, whose generous gift made the construction possible. The pool, which opened in Oct. 2008, is 52-meters by 25 yards, a true Olympic-sized pool. The water polo teams are able to play on a regulation sized course, while lap swimmers have many more lanes to choose from. The expansion allows for water polo to practice and lap swimmers to swim at the same time, greatly increasing the pools usefulness.
