Aquatic Center

The mission of the UNF Aquatic Center is to promote water safety and serve the aquatic needs of the university community including Division One athletics, physical education, general recreation, and when possible, to generate revenue through usage by the greater Jacksonville and Northeast Florida community. 

The UNF Aquatic Center opened its doors to both the campus and the greater Jacksonville community in December 1988. Since then, the facility has developed the membership base and quality programming necessary to become one of the premier indoor, year-round aquatics facilities in Northeast Florida. In 2001, we welcomed the Division I UNF Women’s Swimming and Diving team and became their home pool for training and swim meets.

Today, the Aquatic Center is home to several year-round and seasonal rental groups. We are a key provider of American Red Cross programming like swim lessons, lifeguarding, and CPR certification courses. We also provide aquatic recreation opportunities for both UNF students and the greater Jacksonville community. In addition, we offer employment and leadership development opportunities for UNF students. We are the UNF Aquatic Center, come swim with us.
