Making waves

The Steven E. Schofield Aquatic Center is the home of Pierce College aquatics and is open to anyone that wants to take a swim. Weekend swim rates at Pierce are $2 a session for those 18 and older and $1 a session for people 17 and under. A great place to be on a hot summer day, Pierce also plays host to numerous aquatic events that include men’s and women’s high school water polo and swim meets. In addition, it is home to the Pierce College Brahmas water polo and swim teams. In 2012, Pierce was crowned the Western State Conference champion in water polo and the swimming and diving team won the conference title in 2011. The Brahmas also made history in 2013 when diver Ryan Anderson became state champion, winning in the 3m dive. During the weeknights, children ranging from ages four to 12 learn how to swim. The Steven E. Schofield Aquatic Center also hosts a number of aquatic club teams and acts as a gateway for athletes pursuing a future in aquatics sports.
