Aquatic Center A generous gift from the estate of Grant Sylvester Wolverton, in memory of his parents, early Monmouth pioneers, enabled the Wolverton Pool project in 1954. The dedication of Wolverton Memorial Swimming Pool took place on Sunday, April 24, 1955, under the administration of Roy E. Lieuallen. With the expansion of the Health and Wellness Center the Wolverton Memorial Swimming Pool has been updated and a therapy pool has been added. Continuing with its original vision, the Aquatic Center will be open and available for teaching swimming, fitness and aquatic safety to the general public. Outdoor Programs The goal of Outdoor Programs is to bring the student, faculty and staff, alumni, and the general Monmouth/Independence community to the great outdoors of Oregon. The Outdoor Program now housed within the Health and Wellness Center has expanded to provide outdoor rental equipment from the generocity of the 2011 Incidential Fee Committee. We provide activities, events, and trips you will not want to miss.

Each fall, winter and spring term, there are a wide variety of programs ranging from team sports to individual and dual sports.
