Sunday, July 14: Lap Pool CLOSED

Due to mechanical issues the lap pool will be closed today, Sunday, July 14. We will attempt to open as soon as possible with our regular summer hours.

The leisure pool will be open and available during this time. The open hours for the leisure pool can be found on our website by visiting https://recsports.unt.edu/hours

Lap Pool System Updates Closure

Due to required maintenance, we anticipate the lap pool closing within the next three weeks and remaining closed until mid-September. The planned closure is due to a required replacement of both the fire suppression and HVAC systems. We recognize that the uncertain timeline and the closure creates some inconveniences, and we apologize for that. The new systems will help maintain a safe and enjoyable environment in the lap pool for years to come, and should result in more reliable operations and fewer unplanned closures in that space.

The leisure pool will remain open and be available during this time. The open hours for the leisure pool can be found on our website by visiting https://recsports.unt.edu/hours

We appreciate you being a member of the Rec Center and once again apologize for the inconvenience.
