Goolrick Pool Now Open for Spring Semester

January 16, 2025 by Guest Author Leave a Comment

From the Division of Student Affairs and Administration and Finance:

We’re excited to announce that the Goolrick Pool has reopened this week of January 13. The open schedule will be available through Campus Recreation, and we invite you to celebrate with the UMW Eagles swim teams this Saturday, January 18, at 1 p.m. during their first home meet of the season and senior day.

We appreciate all who worked on this project, from the experts in Facilities Operations and Capital Outlay, to the Campus Recreation and Athletics staff. Thanks to UMW Aquatics Coordinator and Pool Operator Kyle Diederich, a senior on the men’s swim and dive team, for his work throughout the project.

Our varsity and club swim teams extended their patience as practices needed to be elsewhere through the fall, and our campus community and families eagerly awaited the time when they could once again access the facility for fitness or fun.

Goolrick has always been a facility designed to be actively used by students, faculty, staff, and community members alike. We are so excited to welcome all of our patrons back into the water for an improved facility experience.
