Boston University - Fitness and Recreation Center, Boston, University, Boston MA
SITE Info: Boston University’s Fitness and Recreation Center includes a 10-lane by 16-lane competition pool with the ability to change from meters to yards using a movable bulkhead. The depth slopes from 7 feet to 13.5 feet. The course will be set in short course (25) yards, thus allowing 10 lanes with non-turbulent lane lines for competition and an additional five to six lanes for continuous warm up in the diving end of the pool. The facility is equipped with a Daktronics Timing System, touch pads, and a ten lane electronic scoreboard. Spectator seating is available for approximately 400 spectators
COURSE: Short course yards (25 yards) and Long Course Meters (50 meters).
PARKING: There is ample parking available in the Agganis Arena garage that is adjacent to the Fitness and Recreation center. As Boston University is an urban campus with many competing events, parking is limited. Metered on-street parking is discouraged as there are few of these spaces and they are frequently monitored and ticketed. Click here for Aquatic Center Parking Map that gives directions and illustrates how to access the Agganis Arena garage. The rate for each day is $1.00 per hour with a maximum of $8.00 for the day; however, if there are conflicting events on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday evenings at the Agganis Arena, all cars must leave the garage by 5:00 PM or they will be required to pay the $25.00 event parking rate. At this time, no events are planned for that weekend, but Boston University reserves the right to modify its parking terms and will make every effort to provide sufficient notification.
