Set up

You must check in at the front desk before going to the pool deck to set up. Once you have checked in with the lifeguards you can use the outdoor pool gate to bring in your party items.

Provisions

We provide lifeguards on the deck, tables for each party, umbrellas, noodles, volleyball and basketballs, and use of all furniture on the pool deck.

You may bring in pool toys, food and drinks for your event. You may also bring your own canopy/tent.

Parking

Your guests can park in the parking lot in front of the Student Recreation Center or in the lot below the pool by the pump room (once on Jaguar Blvd, go to four-way stop and turn left rather than making a U-turn.) Parking is also available in the gravel lot off of Old Shell Road before you get to Jaguar Blvd. Please note that this lot is not available during USA baseball games and parking may be difficult during special events at the Mitchell Center.

Pool party reservations are made online via our Campus Recreation Portal. We do not accept in-person registration or cash/checks. If you are a member, you must read the portal instructions. Do not create a new account.
