Campus Pool and Gym
Last week, I mentioned the campus pool, located in the Field House, to one of our Marinette students, and the response was, “We have a pool? What is the Field House?” So let me just tell you all that yes, we have a pool. The campus pool is also known as the River Cities Community Pool to Marinette residents, and anyone can come swim during open hours—but only UWGB students get in for free with your student ID. The UWGB Field House is located at 1125 University Dr. (diagonally across from the old hospital that’s currently being torn down). In addition to housing the pool, this building also includes a handful of science classrooms, a basketball gym, and a full weight room with Nautilus machines. All are free for UWGB students to use. The pool itself holds regular open swim hours as well as several exercise classes—from water aerobics to individiual personal training. Fitness instructors offer yoga and interval-training classes on the pool deck as well. And, if you and a group of friends would like the pool all to yourselves, you can rent it out for $60 an hour. Visit the River Cities Community Pool website to learn more and get the March fitness class schedule. Good news: The Field House fitness center will be getting a major overhaul this summer, so look for an even better set-up for the 2022-23 school year.
