GVSU Pool
Home of Laker Swimming & Diving
Completed in 1983, the L-shaped pool is 22.86 meters (25 yards) wide by 25 meters long with six lanes and a depth of four to six feet at the starting blocks area. The diving area has three diving platforms (two one-meter and one three-meter springboards) with a depth of 13.5 feet. The stands have seating for up to 450 spectators.
The pool is used primarily for GVSU Swimming and Diving team practice, but is also used daily for open swim, lap swim, classes, and community programs. Current Michigan competitive standards require a depth of seven feet at the starting blocks, which have placed limitations on using the blocks. GVSU still hosts regular season swimming and diving meets but they move their larger meets and championship events to Jenison High School.
