Following Monday's severe weather, the Norris Aquatics Center experienced heavy flooding in the mechanical room. While we are still working to assess the full extent of the damage, the Norris Aquatics Center is closed until further notice. Several key pumps and controls will likely need to be repaired or replaced before reopening.
In response, starting today through August 7, Northwestern students and Henry Crown Sports Pavilion members are welcome to utilize the McGaw YMCA pool (see below) as a no-cost alternative.
We will continue to provide updates on our Pool Closings page as more information becomes available.
MCGAW YMCA POOL ACCESS | July 29 – August 7

Please bring your HCSP membership card or Wildcard for check-in, and allow extra time to complete their waiver before each visit.
We appreciate your understanding as we navigate this temporary closure. Should you have any questions, please email
