Ohio Wesleyan University Athletics

From 1954-2010, the Battling Bishop men’s and women’s swimming teams hosted their home meets at Pfeiffer Natatorium, located on South Sandusky Street on the southern edge of campus.

Pfeiffer Natatorium housed a 6-lane, 25-yard pool and is named in recognition of the gift of Annie Merner Pfeiffer.

Pfeiffer Natatorium adjoined Edwards Gymnasium, the nerve center of Ohio Wesleyan athletics for over a century.

Beginning with the 2010-11 season, the Battling Bishop men’s and women’s swimming teams host their home meets at the Meek Aquatics and Recreation Center. The Meek Center boasts a 10-lane pool, a 13-foot-deep diving well, and 1-meter and 3-meter diving boards. The facility also is Ohio Wesleyan's first "green" building.

Prior to 1954, Ohio Wesleyan swimming events were contested in the University’s first pool, a 20-foot by 20-yard facility in the basement of Edwards Gym that served the University for nearly 50 years after Edwards opened during the 1905-06 academic year.
