Located behind the Gold Arena on South College Avenue, the Outdoor Pool is the largest in the state. The 50-meter pool includes two tube slides, and the water is heated to a constant and comfortable temperature. In addition, for the youngest swimmers in the family, there's a fenced-in Baby Pool that's just 6 inches deep.

Recent enhancements include renovated locker room facilities, including a baby changing station in the women's locker room; more than 250 chaise lounges on the pool deck; and a special dining area.

Opening day for the UD Outdoor Pool is Sunday, May 30, and it will be open daily through Labor Day weekend, Sept. 4-6, with an additional session on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Special events at the pool this summer will include Family Day on June 19, Family Swim Night (with the pool open until 10 p.m.) on June 26 and July 30, a holiday barbecue on July 4, Pool Appreciation Day on Aug. 7, and monthly Free Guest Weekends.

In addition, pool members may register for swim lessons and join the Bluefish Summer Swim Team.

Membership fees are $260 for a community family membership (covering up to four family members); and $140 for a community individual membership. UD employees may sign up for a family rate of $235 (up to four members) and an individual rate of $130. Employees must present their IDs to receive the discount. UD employees also can use the pool for a charge of $5 per day. UD undergraduate and graduate students may use the pool for $3 per day.
