Fees
All Users Contribute
The Swim Center is devoted to serving the University community as a premier academic, athletic, recreation, and fitness facility. All users of the Swim Center contribute to its operation through payment of user fees collected in class registration, daily admission or purchase of pool passes. The process for payment of user fees varies depending on the user.
Semester and Annual Pass prices reflect closing for UI Holidays, Annual Scheduled Maintenance (the Swim Center shuts down for a minimum of 30 days before the beginning of each Fall semester for scheduled maintenance), unscheduled maintenance and periodic facility rentals to user groups.
