Aquatics

"The aquatics program at FSC provides a number of different opportunities for students to have fun outside without having to go far. Kayaking, skiing, swimming, and tanning are just some of the great times you can have without shelling out any extra money!"

328,000 gallons of liquid FUN await you!

Swim for fun and fitness, connect with friends while hanging out by the pool, or take advantage of many other innovative ways the Wellness Center pool can provide exercise and reduce stress.

Florida Southern's beautiful pool is an eight-lane, 25-yard competition pool with an attached recreational shallow end.  This outstanding facility features water basketball and equipment for water volleyball.  The pool is open year-round and is heated for winter use.  All FSC students, faculty, staff and alumni can access the pool with their current ID card.

Try deep water running, a great cardio workout without the joint stress, or a pick up game of water basketball in the shallow end of the pool.
