Weekday Lap Swimming Begins at Schwartz Athletic Center
The Wells College Pool* (see bottom of page) has begun lap swimming during weekdays from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. For those new to the campus, the Wells pool is located in the Schwartz Athletic Center along with the fitness center.
Due to current restrictions, only lap swimming is permitted for Wells students only. We hope to add community members in the near future.
Participants must be aware:
- 1 person per lane, lap swimming only – 5 lap swimmers total at a time (pool only has 5 lanes)
- Complete your daily assessment before you walk up the hill, be ready to show the student-worker
- Wear your mask at all times except when you are in the water
- Sign in at the Outdoor Fitness Center table located in front of the Schwartz Building – use hand sanitizer
- Come prepared with your suit on as we are limiting bathroom usage
- Bring your own towel, water bottle, goggles, etc.
- No sharing equipment
The Wells College Fitness Center* (see bottom of page) continues to also operate during the same weekday 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. hours outdoors (weather permitting) with the following guidelines in place:
Participants are asked to bring their own sweat towel and water bottle. There will be 8-12 mats available that will be assigned on a first-come basis after signing-in with a fitness center student worker. Mats are not to be moved and can only be used by one individual at a time. Participants are asked to return any equipment (see list below) used from their assigned mat back to its origin and sprayed before its return. Equipment cannot be shared and should be only used individually at your assigned mat. For your convenience, sanitizer will be provided.
In addition, participants must:
- Wear a mask at all times except when exercising on your designated mat
- Show your "Green" status from the daily assessment

*The initial setup for both the pool and outdoor equipment – including hours – will be updated pending additional information once it becomes available.
