The McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion is exactly what it sounds like: the aquatic facility of the Ohio State University. So what’s so great about some pools, anyways? Well, okay, not much. The pools are pools, mostly, except… there’s this one pool. I call it the«Fun Pool» but I doubt that’s an official title. But it is a pool. And it is fun. It is filled with built-in pool toys, like a whirlpool tub(spin!) and a series of chain-pull showerheads(splash!). It’s a fun way to cool down from a hard workout over at the RPAC, or just a fun way to swim if you don’t want to do laps in the«real» pools. McCorkle also houses saunas– a great combination is to hit the sauna, then hit the pool, then hit the sauna, repeat. I don’t know if you’re supposed to do this– it’s probably unsanitary in some fashion and it’s probably unhealthy to so drastically alter your core temperature or whatever blah blah. I love it. So yeah, you could say McCorkle is just a pool facility– and you might as well, if it keeps you from crowding up my fun pool! But really, if you are a student at OSU and you aren’t using this place(and the adjacent RPAC) then you are really missing out on some of the better things our fees have paid for in recent years.
