Iowa’s Field House Pool was built in 1927 and was, at the time, the world’s largest indoor swimming pool. The pool has been the site of many national and international meets. The Alumni Meet April 17 will mark Iowa’s final competition in the Field House Pool. The meet is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m.
The Campus Recreation and Wellness Center (CRWC) will serve as the new home of the Hawkeyes beginning in 2010. The facility is located at the corners of Burlington and Madison streets.

The CRWC will include a 50-meter competition pool, a separate diving well, a leisure pool with lap lanes and 24,000 square feet of fitness space.
