[5] A key feature of the building is its natatorium, which serves as the principal training for the "Owls" Kenyon swimming team (formerly the "Lords" and "Ladies"; the Lords won 31 consecutive NCAA Division III championships, making them the team with the most NCAA titles in any sport,[9] and the Ladies have won 23 (nonconsecutive) titles.

[6] The natatorium includes an olympic-size swimming pool with a "state-of-the-art regenerative media filter" (which, it has been claimed, saves 600,000 gallons of water a year), and is climate-controlled and hermetically sealed off from the rest of the facility.
