Pool Update! 

On November 30, 2022, the Rose State College Board of Regents held a special meeting in order to address both a major water leak in the pool and the structural integrity of the roof and exterior walls of the aquatic center. Due to safety hazards, it has been determined to close the pool until further notice. Rose State College understands the impact that this action will have on the campus and the wider community and is truly sorry for any inconvenience. Unfortunately, at this time, the substantial costs to repair damages and keep the pool operational cannot be met by the institution’s operating budget. In response, a committee of community leaders comprised of the College, the Mid-Del school district, and the city of Midwest City has been formed in order to propose possible solutions. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

The Rose State College Aquatic Center is an outstanding facility that features a 25-meter, six-lane, indoor heated swimming pool, plus a whirlpool, sauna, four locker rooms and two family-unit dressing rooms. The depth of the pool ranges from four feet at the shallow end to 13 feet, and it has a ramp for handicap access. An extensive selection of courses are available for adults for both college credit and non-credit.

Additional features include a 1,715-gallon whirlpool that seats up to 8 people with a water temperature maintained at 100 degrees. The sauna is solid redwood with seating for up to 6-8 people. Temperature is maintained at 180 degrees. The facility also has 2 student locker rooms, 2 faculty/staff locker rooms, 2 private locker rooms, and 2 family changing rooms. The student and faculty locker room each have daily use lockers, lockers for rent, showers, restrooms and weight scales.
