Week-end classes:
All classes will be held at the Main FAU Aquatic Center.
We are currently inquiring whether or not FAU charges for parking on the week-ends.
At this point parking is free on the week-ends.
If week-ends do require a parking pass, we are negotiating a greatly reduced summer parking rate for the summer of $32.00.. If you choose this option you will pay FAU parking directly on the FAU web site. Don’t do yet, we will inform you when we are finished setting this up. There are also several parking meters which are first come first served.
Parking directions:
Directions to Main Pool at the Florida Atlantic University Athletic Field House (west side of campus between baseball stadium and basketball field house). There is a reasonable fee for parking for the week-day classes.
The week-end morning classes are held at the main aquatic center on the west side of campus. Enter the main entrance of FAU (the one with the big neon sign) located on Glades Road entering campus on Broward Ave (NW 10th street). Proceed about 1/2 mile straight into campus. You will pass soccer fields on the left hand side. When you get to the stop light inside campus, take a left. You will see the baseball stadium to the left, adjacent to the pool. Park in that lot. Walk to the one story, flat-roofed patio area (Field House). The first pool you come through after the patio is the Teaching Pool and the location of our classes.
Week-end parking fees for the entire summer beginning May 1:
May 1- Sept. 4 th, 2023
Currently parking is free on the week-ends. You need to do nothing..
If things change we have arranged a greatly reduced summer week-day parking fees, purchased through the swim school.
Purchase a summer FAU decal through the Lifestyle Swim School only as we have made special arrangements with the parking department. The fee will be $32.00 for the entire summer, May 1- September 4th (Labor Day). You will receive a rear window decal for the blue lot #15 which is situated in front of the main pool.
For the week-day students starting in May, on the first day of class bring your tag number, drivers license along with $32.00. We will have you fill out a FAU parking form. We will gather all the forms together and take them to the FAU Parking department for you and give you a parking sticker when they are ready.
Parking on the university campus is regulated and comes under the jurisdiction of the University Traffic and Parking Enforcement. Tickets are issued thru that department. You will be responsible for paying your own tickets, if you choose not to purchase the summer parking pass.
The lot the swim school uses is LOT #15, in front of the pool.

Week-end parking fees for September, October:

You know the drill, parking on campus. Our goal is to make this as easy as possible. As you know by now there are only 4 parking meters left in lot 15. They are first come first serve. There are plenty of blue lot parking spaces available in front of the pool.
To make things convenient for you I suggest that you buy a monthly pass for April, which covers you for 28 days. (approx. $3.00 per day).
The easiest way to purchase the parking pass is online.
You can also purchase one at the main FAU entrance kiosk, to the right as you enter FAU from Glades Road, though there may be a line of cars ahead of you. You will need your drivers license, license plate number and registration.

Single coin operated Meters are available for visitors coming to our campus for short periods of time. However, there are lonely 4 meters at the pool parking lot. Also, last year some parents parked without a permit and never received a ticket. Several did receive tickets . However, this is no guarantee that you will not receive a ticket if you do not park at the coin meter or purchase a temporary pass. The choice is yours. If you do receive a ticket the $25 cost will be your responsibility. Note: We have noticed that the parking lot north of the pool/behind the gym seems to be patrolled much less by the meter maids.
