From a waterslide to a sauna, Schuldt Natatorium offers something for everyone. “It’s a multifunctional facility,” said Heather Zajicek ’04, The W assistant director for aquatics. “In addition to open swim times, we offer a variety of fitness classes and many levels of swimming lessons.” The pool is 25 yards long, six-lanes wide and 6-feet deep. Guests can choose to enter the pool either through the deep end, the orange waterslide or the walk-in, zero-depth entry along the side of the pool. There are two sitting areas at the bottom of the zero-depth entry. Zajicek suggests these areas will be great for kids to play, because they are near the waterslide’s splash-down area. She also envisions water shooting out, creating an arch over the sitting areas. Schuldt Natatorium also includes a “wet classroom,” where some training sessions and meetings will take place. The wet classroom is also available for party rentals. Two large windows on the classroom’s west side face the pool, making it easier to supervise children without sitting directly by the pool. “We don’t allow food and drink near the pool. However, the classroom will allow you to bring food, drink and what have you for party rentals,” Zajicek explained. “You will also be able to decorate in the classroom. So kids will be able to run in there, grab a piece of cake, eat it, kind of mess up that area, then come back out to the pool and go back to having fun.” The 11-person hot tub is next to the pool, straight ahead of the zero-depth entry, creating easy access. The saunas Schuldt Natatorium also includes a vortex pool, which is nearly 4-feet deep. This circular pool creates a current so users can either walk with the current for ease or against the current to create resistance. Some of the center’s H2O Fitness Classes will take place in the vortex pool. | |||
