Rawstrom Natatorium at Carpenter Sports Building
The Harry W. Rawstrom
Natatorium in Carpenter Sports Building has served as home
for the University of Delaware men's swimming
and diving team since the 1967-68 season and for the UD women's swimming and diving team since the 1971-72 campaign.
Rawstrom Natatorium is named
in honor of Harry W. Rawstrom, who served as head coach of
the Blue Hen men's swimming and diving team from 1946 until
1981. A member of the University of Delaware Athletics Hall
of Fame and Delaware Sports Hall of Fame, he died in 1994.
The pool was dedicated and named in his honor in
1991.
The 15,000-square foot
natatorium includes a 25-yard pool, a diving well with 1-meter,
3-meter, and platform boards, seating for approximately 700
fans, school and pool record boards, an electrical timing
scoreboard, and offices. A view of the pool can be seen from
windows located in the main corridor of the Carpenter Sports
Building.
In addition to University of
Delaware home meets, the Rawstrom Natatorium annually hosts
the Delaware Secondary School Athletic Association state
high school boys and girls swimming championships, regional
amateur meets, and serves University employees and students
and the community as a recreational facility. Delaware has
also hosted numerous conference swimming championships,
including the America East conference championship meets in
1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, and 2000.
