Located on level 2, access through the locker room showers during open recreation hours.
This is a 63 meter, 8 lane lap pool with two moveable bulkheads which can create a 50 meter lap pool with a shallow end for water aerobics, or two 25 meter or 25 yard courses with a shallow pool for aqua fitness classes. The pool ranges from a depth of 4 feet in the shallow end to 17 feet in the diving end.
The SERF pool is one of the homes to the Badger swimming and diving teams. The pool is also shared with the Physical Education and Kinesiology departments. During summer 2003, the pool was closed for painting, filtration work, lighting upgrades, and the installation of new bulkheads. This truly is a first rate facility.
The shallow end of the pool has lane lines running across the width creating 6 lanes that are 60 feet long. This area is perfect for activities like water walking or lap swimming. The lane lines are removed for the aqua fitness classes.

For your safety all lanes have a designated speed. Signs are posted at the end of each lane on the bulkheads. Please choose a lane based on your swimming ability and speed.
Lanes 1 and 8 - Slow
Lanes 2, 3, 6, 7 - Moderate
Lanes 4 and 5 - Fast
When entering a lane, make contact with all swimmers to let them know you are joining the lane. If faster swimmers are passing you, move to a slower lane. If you are passing slower swimmers, move to a faster lane.
