Goodyear Pool

Goodyear Pool, an exceptional aquatic facility in Plumley Armory, is the home to the men's and women's swimming & diving teams, and features a meticulously designed six-lane, 25-yard swimming area.  This carefully planned pool caters to swimmers of various skill levels, boasting a gradual depth increase from five feet at the shallow end to a more challenging depth of eleven feet at its deepest point, providing a safe and adaptable environment for novice and experienced swimmers.

Enhancing the competitive swimming experience, the pool is outfitted with advanced wave breaker lane lines designed to minimize wave interference between lanes, ensuring swimmers can concentrate on their performance without unnecessary disturbance.  Key to hosting swim meets and recording precise times, the pool incorporates a high-quality Colorado timing system, known for its reliability in providing accurate timing down to the millisecond.  A prominently displayed scoreboard also offers spectators and participants real-time updates on race standings and results.

To accommodate the digital age and expand its reach beyond physical boundaries, Goodyear Pool has also integrated a livestream camera system.

Spectator comfort and visibility are prioritized with stadium-style seating, ensuring an unobstructed pool view from any seat.  This seating arrangement fosters a vibrant and engaging atmosphere during competitions, making it an ideal venue for swimmers and spectators.

Adding to its comprehensive facilities, the pool includes a one-meter diving springboard, catering to divers and expanding the range of aquatic activities available at the venue.  This addition enriches the pool’s offerings, providing a platform for diving training and competitions.

Goodyear Pool stands as a premier aquatic destination, fully equipped with state-of-the-art features to support competitive swimming, diving, and community enjoyment.
