Click here for: where is FAU Map

The week-day 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.  Make sure that you fill out the parking permit form with Rob and Kathy, as the FAU traffic department likes to give parking tickets at the main aquatic center. If you are making up a class and normally take at Henderson, park at the meters. It will cost about 4 quarters. You can also stop at the FAU information hut at the FAU entrance and get a free "day pass" for parking. You can park in front of the pool in lot #15. If there is a big event on a particular day and the lot is full you can park either in front of or behind the FAU gymnasium. To avoid ticketing do not park in the red lined faculty spots or handicapped parking spaces. Those families enrolling for the week-day morning classes at the main Aquatic Complex will need FAU parking decals. The first day of class, please come with your social security number and license tag number. After receiving everyone’s information we will turn it in to the FAU parking department and obtain coded parking decals for you. We will cover the cost of the tags. However, we are unable to cover the cost of parking tickets, if you have not complied with the above requests. Until, you receive your parking decal/tag you may stop at the information hut at the main entrance and pick up a day parking pass. You may also park at one of the meters.

Directions to A.D. Henderson University School Pool (east side of campus 1 block north of 20th street)

The evening and the week-end classes are held at the A.D. Henderson University School pool on the east side of campus. When entering from Glades Road while driving east from I-95, turn left into FAU at the last campus entrance on Florida Atlantic Blvd (NW 13th street), the one furthest east. You will drive about 2/3 mile until you see the stop light. About 100 yards straight past the stop light you will see the school on the right hand side of the road.  Park in lot #26. The pool is behind the school #26A. After you enter the Henderson school drive way, take your first left and park in the lot in front of the school, the one facing FAU Blvd, near the Henderson media center sign. Thank-you for taking notice not to park in the parking spaces reserved for school staff.

After you have parked, walk down the drive way heading north with the school media center on your right. Walk until the driveway comes to a "T" and turn right. There will be a locked gate half way down this drive way. There is enough space to the right side of the gate to fit pedestrians and a small stroller, (not a "4 wheel drive SUV" model). Keep walking  until you get to the second sidewalk to your right. Come through the small hallway and  you will see the backstroke flags of the pool behind the covered courtyard. Please do not enter the actual school building, as we are not permitted inside.

On rare occasions the lot is full, in this case additional parking spaces are available across the street. If those lots are full you can park behind the school.  Sometimes we compete for parking spaces with the folks using the soccer fields, especially some evenings and Saturdays.
