Natatorium

The Natarorium is Trinity's indoor swimming pool, and is located in Ferris Athletic Center. The pool is 25 meters long with 8 lanes, a bulkhead separating a 14 foot deep well, and 2 diving boards. Construction of the pool was approved in 1990 by the Board of Trustees and was finished building by 1992. The estimated cost of construction was around $2.3 million, and fundraising efforts were made to acquire the money.

Both men and women's diving and swimming teams utilize the Natatorium. Previously, the teams had used the Trowbridge Pool, which had been built in 1929 and was one of the first facilities to be constructed in the Ferris Athletic Center. By the 1990's it was outdated, and had even been called “The second worst in New England” by Athletic Director of the time Rick Hazelton. The new Natatorium allowed for much needed upgrades, including increased lanes and more natural light (something the Trowbridge Pool had distinctly lacked).
