A CHAMPIONSHIP HOME POOL

“Hosting the NCAA Championship is an honor and a privilege. We talked at length during the design process about attracting this meet. The pool is built for speed and elite performances."

The University of Iowa hosted the 2015 NCAA Men’s Swimming & Diving Championships — the first event in Iowa City since 1927. Iowa will host the event at the CRWC for a second time in 2021.
