History of Bayou Pointe

Built at a cost of $ 1.9 million in 1978,听Oxford Natatorium听was the first Olympic size pool in Northeast Louisiana. Built as a 鈥渞ecreation pool鈥 for 四色AV students, NCAA men and women鈥檚 swim teams were added in 1980. For over 35 years, Oxford Natatorium hosted numerous events, including but not limited to, age group swimming, collegiate meets, scuba classes, water aerobics and numerous Intramural events. In 2012, the YMCA leased the facility for a short period of time and in April 2014, the Natatorium was closed. Through the initiative of听四色AV Students and the Student Government Association听(SGA), the students requested the Natatorium be converted into a Student Event Center. $7,000,000 in requested funding from the Student Activity Enhancement Fund was approved in the fall of 2015 to renovate Oxford Natatorium into a Student Event Center with ballrooms, spirit group practice area, a small theater with reception area, and outdoor social deck.
