Swimming
The expansive area with indoor pools at St. Peters Rec-Plex is known as the “natatorium,” which has served as a world-class facility for competitions and aquatic events. You’ll find a 10-meter tower and one- and three-meter springboards for diving, a 50-meter heated competition swimming pool, a hot tub, and a co-ed sauna. There’s also a 3,300-square-foot heated family leisure pool, complete with a 130-foot water slide and water play features.
St. Peters Rec-Plex swimming isn’t only for members, though. The Rec-Plex offers daily admission that covers general access to the weight room, cardio room, indoor track, Dynamic Training Room (DTR), gymnasium, ice rink, natatorium (pools), and locker room. Daily admission rates start at $10.
