Recognised among the top universities in the country, it serves over 13,000 students, spread across ten faculties, and is accredited by both national and international bodies.

Equipped with Myrtha Track Start blocks, the pool provides athletes with a stable and adjustable platform, enhancing starting efficiency. To support flexibility in training and competition setups, the facility includes a removable headwall. This accessory can be easily installed or removed, allowing competition pools to maintain overflow gutters on all four sides, as required by World Aquatics regulations.
More than just a sports venue, the aquatic centre reflects the university’s commitment to academic and athletic excellence, offering a professional environment for training and competition. The project combines advanced technologies with a long-term vision, ensuring high quality, low maintenance, and adaptability for future enhancements.​
