Recreational Swim
Recreational swim is available for students and active Carmichael members. Operations will follow NC Department of Health and Human Services Interim Guidance for Public Pools and Spas and university procedures.
Lap lanes are limited to two people per lane. Users will be required to self-manage their equipment and starting position. It is recommended users implement a split lane configuration, with swimmers starting at opposite ends.
To safely limit the number of individuals in the Aquatic Center, users are encouraged to reserve space in advance through the Wellness and Recreation app. Aquatic center swim lap lane reservations will last 50 minutes and start at each hour.
