Aquatics
Reid Pool is located in Reid Gymnasium. You can access the pool by going through the
locker rooms in Reid. The pool is used for various programs and activities, including
Open Swim, Aqua Exercise, and Family Swim. Other groups use the pool for academic
classes, kayak clinics, and swimming programs so be sure to check our pool hours for updates.
Open Swim
Anyone with a CatCard can participate in Open Swim! Just be sure to bring your CatCard
with you every time you enter the pool.
Aqua Exercise Classes
We offer Aqua Exercise classes as part of our Group Xercise program. If you are a
member of the Campus Recreation Center (CRC), just purchase a Group X pass and you’ll
be set to come to Aqua X classes throughout the semester! If you are not a member
of the CRC, but are affiliated with WCU (faculty, staff, spouse), you can purchase
an Aqua X pass from the Campus Recreation Center.
Community members (not affiliated with WCU) can also purchase an Aqua X pass through
Educational Outreach on campus. Call 828-227-7397 for more information.
Family Swim
Family Swim is a service Campus Recreation & Wellness offers in order to provide time
for youngsters to get in the pool with their parents/guardians. Those interested in
bringing their kids to the pool need to come to the Campus Recreation Center to purchase
a semester pass for Family Swim. This pass is $10.00 for the entire family to enjoy
Family Swim. A spouse or partner can be added to the roster as well as the number
of kids you have so that all of you can come together to enjoy the pool. Each day
has specific times that families with the Family Swim pass can come to swim. Click here for pool hours.
