Masters Swim Program Information

McDonald's Swim Stadium

The McDonald's Swim Stadium is a facility for recreation swimmers, varsity swim, diving, and water polo teams. Masters Swim Programs are available. Minimum swimming proficiency is required. Deck chairs and aquatics training equipment are available. Restrooms, locker rooms, and drinking fountains are available at the Lyon Center. Small lockers are for one-day use only. Full and half-length lockers are available for semester rental.

McDonald's Swim Stadium Etiquette

Unless otherwise agreed to, lap swimming should be done in a circular pattern form when sharing lanes. This means, swimming down the right side of the lane at all times.

When choosing a lane, it is best to choose a lane with swimmers who swim at your pace.

Return all borrowed or rented equipment (boards, paddles, etc.) after use.

Facility will be closed on home football game days and special event days.

Hours are subject to change without notice.

Reserved lanes for Recreational Sports (water jogging and Masters Swim Program) and Athletic Events (posted times and events).

Appropriate swimming attire is required for pools and for the coed whirlpool and sauna located adjacent to the McDonald's Swim Stadium.

Thank you for your consideration and courtesy. If you have any questions or concerns, please direct them to the lifeguard(s) on duty or the Aquatics Director (213) 740-5127.
