Brighter Experiences with the Natatorium<\/h1>\n
\"Exterior<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The new Kalamazoo College Natatorium serves the men\u2019s and women\u2019s swimming and diving teams, as well as the campus and local community. Made possible through the generosity of donors, the natatorium includes an NCAA competition-compliant pool with wet offices and classrooms, spectator viewing areas, locker rooms, and many more features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of a new facility are numerous. Aside from making K a more attractive college to the best DIII recruits, the natatorium will create a space large enough that our swimming and diving teams can practice together. This will lead to better training opportunities and improved team chemistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For our campus, the new natatorium will serve as a resource for faculty, staff and students who seek healthy ways to manage stress and encourage balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the broader Kalamazoo community, a new natatorium will provide more opportunities for community-based programs such as Swim for Success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Naming opportunities remain available. Honor your former teammates. Honor past coaches. Invest in the next generation of K swimming and diving excellence by making a financial gift of support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
