Background

This page describes how to gain entry to the indoor swim pool on the Northside within Pittsburgh Public Schools’ Oliver High School, now called Oliver Citywide Academy.

Facility

Oliver’s pool is 6-lanes, 25-yards long with nice deck space. Lane lines, starting blocks, and deck-level locker-room facilities exist. The balcony has been closed to spectators. Lighting, paint and showers are not ideal, but the water has always been great. The gutters are perfect for SKWIM’s slot-style game. Coach brings in the AutoCoach pace clocks / scoreboard. Some kickboards and fins are available.
