Swim Options
Below is a list of our swim options:
Aquatics - Open Swim
Open swim is generally used as a lap swimming time. There are 7 lanes available. When space allows, patrons can use the diving board and basketball hoop but lap swimming has priority. Swimmers are asked to present a pool pass to the life
guarding staff. Pool passes are available in the cage area, located in
the locker rooms.
Aquatics - F/S only
Faculty/Staff is open lap swimming dedicated to faculty and staff
members at Portland State. Faculty/Staff members can obtain membership
to the pool in the cage area located in the locker rooms.
Family Swim is a time designated for pool patrons who have paid the
locker room fee, to bring in their families. Lane lines are taken out.
This is a designated time for diving board use, water basketball, and
other various activities. Lap swimmers are encouraged to choose a different time to swim.
