Northwestern
University’s location along the shores of Lake Michigan
makes it an ideal setting for recreational sports such as
swimming, sailing, beach volleyball, jogging, in-line skating
and cycling. Northwestern University also offers sports leagues
that compete at the club level and has numerous sports facilities
that are free for students. The Henry Crown Sports Pavilion
and Dellora A. and Lester J. Norris Aquatics Center house
racquetball courts, squash courts, an indoor track, courts
for tennis and basketball, an Olympic-sized swimming pool,
a weight room and a sun deck. The Sports Pavilion has a wall
of windows that face the lake – great views when working
out on the treadmill.
