Pool hours and use
Always check the Patty Pool schedule for details on specific days. Meets and special events often change the schedule.
- Conditioning Lap swim (full laps only) - Open to Nanook Recreation members and day pass holders
- Rec swim (families welcome), some lane lines removed
- CTC class is a Recreation for credit academic class hosted by UAF's CTC campus
- Nanooks - UAF Varsity swim team practice, public not allowed
- SST (Stingrays Swim Team) - Youth team practice, public not allowed -
TEMPERATURE: UAF Patty Pool is set to 79.5F. This is an ideal temp for conditioning swim but not ideal for young kids just splashing around. This is why you see a mostly lap/team swims on our schedule compared to Borough pools which has more Open Rec times.
