About The Warner Palaestra Pool – Saint John’s University

The home of Johnnie aquatics lies in the Warner Palaestra Pool. The Warner Palaestra Pool includes a regulation sized, eight-lane, 25-yard pool, one-meter and three-meter spring boards and a five-meter platform. Johnnie swimmers and divers have been a vital part to the success of Saint John’s Athletics and continue to be. Since 1978, Saint John’s has had 26 All Americans and two individual national champions (1991 – John Deters in the 1-meter dive, 1999 – Matt Zelen in the 50-yard freestyle).
