The Henry Memorial Natatorium is located inside of the Henry Memorial Center. It serves as the event center for the College’s men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams as well as the men’s and women’s water polo squads.
The natatorium consists of a six-lane, 25-yard pool, ranging from four to seven feet. Diving boards (one- and three-meters) are located in a huge and beautiful diving-well area.
The natatorium seats its spectators in a balcony that overlooks the pool area. It holds approximately 300 fans. Access to this area can be obtained by entering from the second level of Salvitti Family Gymnasium thus keeping fans from being on the pool deck level.
