Dive In!

Georgia Southern students, faculty, and staff can now go swimming at the RAC. The new CRI Aquatics Center opened on Wednesday. The center includes an indoor competitive 25y x 25m size pool, a 25 person whirl-pool, an indoor sauna, and locker rooms. All aquatic activities including academic classes, GSU swim team and aqua aerobics will start next week.

The pools stay clean and sanitary without the use of lots of chlorine thanks to an ultraviolet cleaning system. The water is cycled constantly and then scanned with ultaviolet lights which kill any bacteria. This system is very beneficial since a lot of people will be in the pools everyday.

I haven't had the chance to go see the new pools since they opened but I saw a lot while they were being constructed and I know they will be a great addition to the school. The thing I really like about the pools are the giant palm trees and the big open windows. I always enjoy going to the RAC to work out and I'm glad that now I will get to go swimming also.

CRI has a lot more to offer than just the cool new pools. Just a few of their services include massage therapy, personal trainers, and group fitness. So whether you're in class, want to work off that big meal, or just want to go for a dip in the pool...the RAC is the place for you! I know I'll be going there soon to check it out and I'm sure that many students and faculty are looking forward to it just as much as I am.
