Facilities and Directions

Swimming Lessons are located in either Mitchell Hall Pool (104 Mitchell Hall) or Wittich Hall Pool (116 Wittich Hall) on the UW-L Campus. 

Below are some directions from all four cardinal directions leading to Mitchell Hall's parking lot (Lot C-2).  Participants can park in Lot C-2 free of charge during swimming classes.   If you choose to park elsewhere, please be sure to adhere to posted parking policies.  Mitchell Hall is directly across from Lot C-2.  Go in the front door and straight ahead once in the building.  At the end of the hall, take a left, and then take a right by the Strength Center.  The pool is to your right before you get to the exit. 

Wittich can be found behind the International Flags just off of East Avenue.  It is between Main Hall and Cowley Hall, and behind the physical plant building (the one with the tall smokestack).  To get to Wittich from the lot, walk into campus towards the Clock Tower, and Wittich will be on your left (use the left entrance to the building).  Go straight ahead and then left at the stairwell, the pool is on your left.
