THE RECREATION CENTER
Rochester’s Swimming & Diving Community Home
The Rochester Recreation Center was built in 1975. The center contains facilities for hockey, swimming and diving. The pool within the Rec Center is known as one of the fastest short-course pools in the upper-Midwest. Throughout the years, all facilities within the Rec Center have been constantly used every day, nearly all year. This constant wear and tear has required significant work just to keep everything running.
