For a nice alternative to working out in the fitness area, patrons are encouraged to explore our aquatics facilities that include the ERC Natatorium and the Outdoor Aquatic Center (OAC).
Inside the Natatorium, you can enjoy the warmer water of the instructional pool, sauna, steam room, and our Olympic-size competition pool. The semi-weighlesness of water allows relief for folks with arthritis, or joint issues. It can also be meditative to swim laps or water walk while listenening to the rythmic nature of water's movement. Enjoy open lap swimming, club sports (swimming, water polo, triathlon) or get involved with the facility’s group activities, such as our youth recreational swim program, masters swimming, swim lessons, or one of the many special events such as the Maryland State Swimming & Diving Championships, hosted by RecWell Aquatics.
