The Lake C. Oxford Natatorium was built in 1976 and renovated in 1996. In October of 2003, a new chlorinating system was installed. In January 2005, a new boiler and air conditioning system were installed. The Natatorium houses two indoor, heated pools; one is a 50 meter by 25 yard competition pool and the other is a 25 yard by 12.5 yard diving well. The diving well has 2 one-meter boards and 2 three-meter boards. A sundeck, which overlooks the beautiful Bayou DeSiard, has ample deck chairs and tables with umbrellas that are perfect for sunbathing or enjoying a picnic lunch. Our members can enjoy swimming, canoeing or paddle boating down the bayou, or just lounging around our pool deck area.
