About Us Mission

The mission of the Whitworth Aquatics Center is to provide a safe environment in
which students, staff, faculty, and community can achieve their highest level of
fitness through aquatic activity.

The center features a beautiful 40-yard lap pool with a bulkhead dividing the pool
into a 25 yard lap pool
and a large shallow end
accessible by a ramp for
entry. The pool's
temperature is
maintained at 80-82
degrees during the
varsity swim team
season; this is an ideal
temperature for a
workout facility. Our pool
is available to the
community for a variety
of fitness, water-safety, and learn-to-swim programs.

Water Aerobics Program Information

Aquatic exercise is more fun, more comfortable, and more effective than any
fitness activity you can do on land. Why exercise in water? Since water offers much
more resistance than air, swimming and other forms of aquatic exercise are great
for all three major fitness areas:

 Cardiovascular: It's as efficient as bicycling for forcing the heart and lungs to
pump oxygen; just standing in neck-deep water stimulates circulation so that
the heart pumps about 32 percent more blood.

 Flexibility: It involves long, stretching movements.

 Strength: The resistance of water enhances muscle tone and strength.

When immersed in water, you're virtually free of gravity and the stress it places on
your skeletal, respiratory, digestive and circulatory systems. It's the ultimate no-
impact workout, and because pool water is typically about 15 degrees cooler than
your body, you don't have to worry about overheating. (Be sure to stay hydrated
by drinking liquids before/during your workout.) When you're exercising in a
cooler environment, your muscles require more energy to work; so you burn more
fat than in most land-based programs. No matter what type of exercise you're
looking for – aerobics, strength training, physical therapy or weight loss – aquatic
exercise is an enjoyable and highly accessible outlet for lifelong satisfaction.

Lap Swim Program Information

The Whitworth Aquatics Center includes a 40-yard pool with a movable bulkhead
that creates a six-lane, 25-yard, wave less pool for lap swims. It offers the perfect
workout facility for the serious athlete as well as for the beginning adult swimmer.
Swimmers work independently but have access to informational fliers on workouts
and stroke tips.
