The Lancaster Aquatic Center is one
of the finest swimming institutions for any university in the United States! This
rather large swimming facility, is located directly beside the Johnson Center
on the South part of the University of Kentucky’s campus. The center was
actually opened in 1989, and it was named after Harry H. Lancaster. Lancaster
was a University of Kentucky assistant baseball coach (1946-1970), as well as
an Athletic Director for the University of Kentucky.
According to a statement on http://www.ukathletics.com/athletic-dept/aquatic-center.html
the facility is 25 yards by 176 feet. The Lancaster center is truly open to so
many different swimming opportunities, for so many different people! The center
doesn’t just limit its users to people that are on the University of Kentucky
swim team! It offers aquatic classes, recreational swimming, and even
handicapped swimming lessons (that are instructed by professionals. On a side
note, your family members can come and purchase a weekly pass for the center,
if they choose to do so!
The diving facility consist of two
one meter boards that are above concrete platforms. In the year 1990, the
diving facility won an award (The Association of General Contractors Award) for
having the most impressive structure for that current year. Along with this,
the center also has a training room. The training area is even equipped with an
