English

Subject field(s)
  • Water Sports
DEF

A swimming pool, especially an indoor one; a complex containing one or more such pools.

CONT

A natatorium is, strictly speaking, a structurally separate building containing a swimming pool. In Latin, a cella naratariua was a swimming pool in its own building; thus, the sense was much as now. ... It is usually taken for granted that it will also house locker rooms, and perhaps capacity for allied activities, such as a diving tank, facilities for water polo, and so forth. Many colleges and universities have natatoria.

CONT

Located adjacent to Ahearn Field House, the Natatorium is handicapped accessible and includes two 25-yard pools with pacer clock, diving well with 3 meter & 1 meter boards, and sunning deck.

CONT

Located in the fieldhouse on the campus of Prince George's Community College, the Bickford Natatorium includes a heated, 50-meter, indoor swimming pool, an indoor heated training pool, an indoor heated whirlpool, and locker rooms.
