Want to take a dip? The FSU swimming pool is located in the
Felton J. Capel Arena. The pool is Olympic sized and has a shallow end and
diving board. The pool is available for use by students, faculty, and
staff.
The swimming pool is just a part of a larger physical
education and recreation complex. The Health, Physical Education, and
Recreation Building boasts a 4,000-seat basketball arena, an indoor track,
an aerobics studio, racquetball courts, outdoor tennis courts, weight
rooms, and more.
The complex, considered one of the best at the Division
II level is named after Felton J. Capel, who chaired FSUs board of
trustees and later served as vice chairman of the school's foundation
board. Capel is also the father of Jeff Capel, Assistant Coach for the
Charlotte Bobcats NBA team.
