During certain hours, members also have access to our swimming pools and basketball gymnasium.  Hours for these activities are located on our calendar.

REEVES AQUATIC CENTER

The Reeves Aquatic Center consists of two pools: an eight-lane 25-yard lap  pool and a three-lane teaching pool.  Recreational swimmers share the pool with Health and Fitness classes, the American University Varsity Swim Team and Curl Burke Swim Club.  The teaching pool and at least three lanes of the lap pool are always available during recreational swim.  Members must circle swim in the lap pool, and may use the teaching pool for children and water exercises. Review the monthly pool calendar for pool hours.  Come through Jacobs Fitness Center to get to the shower rooms and pools.
