Water Polo Team Opens New Natatorium on Edwards Campus

Brunswick’s new natatorium opened its doors on August 25, with the first Bruins diving into the pool that afternoon for water polo practice.

The pool, which boasts a diving well with two 1-meter boards and eight lanes for swimming, contains approximately 300,000 gallons of water and ranges from 7’ to 11’2’’.

A 20’x60’ section of the pool floor rests on pistons, allowing it to be raised and lowered to create an even depth for water polo and a shallow end for learn-to-swim classes.

The underground, state-of-the-art complex also enjoys a geothermal envelope that remains at a constant 55 degrees and will keep the building insulated from extremes in weather temperature.

A ground level, turf field — to be used by Middle School teams — rests upon the roof.

The varsity water polo team begins home competition on Wednesday, September 10. Come cheer on the Bruins and get an up-close look at the facility.
