Outdoor Pool

Closed for the season

Welcome to the UNH Outdoor Pool. The Outdoor Pool has zero depth entry, swim lanes, a concession stand and plenty of space for free swimming. Social space around the pool is a great place to relax when not enjoying the water. Restrooms and bathhouse incorporate a display celebrating the history of the Outdoor Pool.
