Campus Recreation

Meet People. Have Fun. Reduce Stress!

Whether you want to join a group fitness class, set your own pace on the indoor track, get your heart pumping on a cardio machine, pump iron, play a game of basketball (or volleyball or tennis or floor hockey), or play an intramural sport, we’ve got something for you.

Playing sports recreationally through Alma College’s intramural sports is a great way to do all of the above—for free! Intramural sports are open to all Alma students, faculty, and staff, giving you the opportunity to exercise with all of your friends.

Open Swim (Hogan Pool)

Beginning Monday, August 26, Alma community open swim will officially be moving to Alma High School. By working closely with the high school athletic department, we hope to make this a smooth transition for all of our community members.
The Alma High School pool has the amenities and ability to offer a consistent experience for Alma community open swim. With recent renovations, they will be able to provide an efficient set-up for access to the pool as well as ease of use for all ages to enjoy!

Please see below for more details and information:

Existing memberships - If you have had a membership for 2 months or less, your membership will be honored by Alma High School. Anyone with 3+ months left on their membership will be sent a refund from Alma College.
New memberships - You will be able to purchase memberships from the high school to use during open swim; they will offer day passes as well as monthly memberships. They are working to become a SilverSneakers official partner.
Open swim hours - Alma High School plans to offer open swim times similar to what the college has offered in the past during the school year. They also plan to host water aerobics during the morning swim session.
More information - Alma High School has created a Facebook group named "Alma public schools aquatic center." There, you will be able to find all the information for open swim.
