One of the fastest pools in the state of Illinois, Horton Pool is part of the Horton Athletic Complex. Located just north of CEFCU Arena, the complex is comprised of six lanes, a dry board (inside and outside), a trampoline for training and a hot tub for relaxing muscles. Horton Pool allows for Redbird swimmers and divers to conveniently train on campus for competition.
Horton Pool underwent a massive renovation prior to the 2009-10 season.Â
