Koenitzer Aquatic Center

The Koenitzer Aquatic Center is a premier facility named in honor of John and Joyce Koenitzer '74, whose commitment to aquatic sports and the Carthage community has left an enduring legacy.

3. The center features a separate whirlpool, offering a space for relaxation and recovery after intensive training sessions.

4. The 10-lane pool is not just a venue for Carthage women's water polo events; it also serves as the location for swim lessons open to the community. The center's commitment to community engagement is reflected in its accessible and inclusive programs.
