Aquatics Special Events

 
Throughout the year, UTC's Campus Rec Aquatics offers several exciting events for college students! We also offer special events for our members and their families. Check back in occasionally to see what events we have planned in the coming months. Come swim with us!

Upcoming Events:

Swim Challenge:  Mariana Trench

The deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, runs 1554 miles long in the Pacific Ocean. This year, UTC Aquatics is swimming across the Mariana! We invite you to add up your lap swimming mileage and work together as we set our goal of swimming the length of the Mariana Trench. To add yourself to our team, simply record your name and yards swam on the clipboard near our Miles Through Mariana poster on the pool deck.  The top three swimmers will be rewarded with an awesome swag bag!

Date:  Monday August 23rd - Friday November 19th
