The indoor pool includes a water slide, diving board, accessible ramp, multiple ladders, and step entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guidelines for Summer Weather<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rain Only:<\/strong>  In the event of rain only, we will close the outdoor pool and move everyone to the indoor pool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thunder:<\/strong>  If thunder is heard but lightning has not been detected yet, Red Cross policy dictates that we close the outdoor pool for 30 minutes from the last sound of thunder. In the event that only the outdoor pool is open, we will move and open the indoor pool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lightning<\/strong>:  If lightning is visibly seen, both the indoor and outdoor pools will be closed for 30 minutes from the last lightning that is seen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For any questions regarding weather, please feel free to call the Campus Recreation Equipment desk for updates at (615) 898-5157.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
