UA Campus Recreation Pool

Great pool to swim in and lots of lanes. When we visited in January 2026, the air temp was in the 50’s and the pool temp was in the 80’s. Highly recommend this outdoor pool. There are even kick boards and some fins available to use. We did the drop in rate/day rate to get into the pool.

I am a Tucson Native and had no clue that the U of A rec center pool was open to the public. What a great surprise, and for a day pass, an adult is $8, and kids are $5. The pool is temp regulated year round also. The staff were friendly and nice and the facilities were clean. We will be back and telling our friends! Thanks rec center.

It's a great property, it's clean. It's quiet. It has a lot of swimming areas.

This place is amazing. Loved all the staff. Everyone was super nice here. The lap pools are amazing. Very clean pool. Front desk people are super friendly. I would recommend this place to everyone. Super relaxing place to exercise. Has everything gym, cafe, pools, locker rooms, and showers. I’m sure there are a lot more things here because this place is huge.

Wonderful swimmimg pool. The AC in the shower and locker rooms is very cold though (quite wasteful; they should rank it up warmer a few degrees in the summer to save on energy). Many of the showers don't work well (water pressure is low, or there's no hot water, etc.), they also seem to be designed in a wasteful way in terms of space and sometimes you have to wait during peak times as a result: each shower is very long and spacious with thick "walls" between one and the next; there's a door, a foyer-type space with THREE hangers, and after that space, a curtain, and behind that curtain the actual individual shower. You could easily fit twice as many showers and save on construction, maintenance, cleaning and replacement curtains with a more traditional design like open showers, or showers with thin dividers in between (there'll be more to clean than with open showers, but still better than the current design), and only one curtain to close off each "cubicle" (the curtains will still get disgusting with mold/fungi though, unless cleaned/replaced often, which increases costs, quite unnecessarily, really). The benches are also a bit weird: there's no bench at all next to or in fron
