Robert G. Nicholls Natatorium

Dedicated on February 1, 2020, the Robert G. Nicholls Natatorium is a premiere feature of the Beloit College Powerhouse. The space features eight 25-yard lanes, one and three meter diving boards, a brand new video board, new timing system, seating for approximately 250 fans and office space. 

The Bucs' new home is named for a man that left a lasting impact on Beloit College. Robert Nicholls wore many hats during his more than 40-year tenure at Beloit College including athletic director, instructor and coach of the football, basketball, tennis, wrestling and swimming and diving programs. On his 40th Beloit anniversary, the college estimated that "Coach Nick" had worked with more than 3,000 student-athletes. In 2001, Nicholls was inducted into the Beloit College Athletic Hall of Honor. He passed away in 2015 at the age of 91.
