SUNY Brockport Athletics

 

The James B. Fulton Natatorium is the home of the Golden Eagles swim and dive program. The facility was named after Jim Fulton, who taught and coached at Brockport for 38 years (1948-85) and was a 1986 Golden Eagle Athletic Hall of Fame Inductee. During his time at the school he coached swimming for 20 years, winning 78 percent of the team's dual meets and three of the first five SUNYAC Championships. He also helped develop all nine of the College's swimming All-Americans. The SUNYAC Outstanding Senior Male Scholar-Athlete honoree is named the "Jim Fulton Award" recipient. Fulton served as an assistant football coach for five years and coached cross-country for 10 years, winning three SUNYAC Championships.

This facility remains the official home pool for the Golden Eagles swim and dive program for sanctioned NCAA competitions. Brockport also utilizes this facility for open recreational swim, day swim sessions for children from local schools, a variety of swim meets, and team workouts for the 23 varsity sports programs on campus. See below for information on hours/registration for open swim.
