🔹 Is there a swimming pool available for student use 🔹 Does Acadia have a campus pool 🔹 Can students swim at the Athletics Complex 🔹 Is the pool still open at Acadia

No — the Acadia swimming pool permanently closed on June 15, 2025. The decision followed engineering assessments that identified significant structural issues, including leakage and corrosion, and estimated repair costs of over $3 million. Combined with an annual operating deficit of around $400,000, the university determined it could no longer sustain the facility.

While the pool is no longer available, Acadia continues to support student recreation through its other Athletics Complex facilities, such as the fitness centre, arena, gymnasium, Raymond Field, and indoor walking track.
