Named in honor of a 1955 alumnus and longtime athletic director, the McAvoy Natatorium is a combination pool and diving area located on the lower level of the Sports Complex. The pool is six lanes and 25 yards by 25 meters with an attached diving well. The starting blocks are at a depth of 5.5 to 7 feet deep, which allows for fast starts because the refraction of water is minimal. Diving boards of 1 meter and 3 meters are offered, with a plummet line of 14 feet. A whirlpool adjacent to the pool is available as well.
