Completed in December 2007, the Aquatics Bubble is the temporary home for both the Brown Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving teams and the Men's and Women's Water Polo teams.

The $3.8 million dollar facility will allow these teams to have an on campus home while construction of a new $25 million dollar state-of-the-art swim facility is completed. The pool, which has eight lanes and a maximum occupancy of 100, must be accessed through the OMAC. It is also available for use by the Brown University community.
