Rosen Aquatic & Fitness Center

Located on International Drive, the Rosen Aquatic & Fitness Center is a state-of-the-art facility that serves area residents. An avid swimmer, Harris Rosen had a long history with the aquatic center and its many members. Today the Rosen Aquatic & Fitness Center is thriving, hosting large competitions, but in 1992, the center was in danger of closing for good. Rosen enlisted the help of celebrities, organizations, and Orange County to help save the aquatic center.

Rosen donated millions to the aquatic center over most of its history, much of which funded renovations. As a result of his support, the Rosen Aquatic & Fitness Center has two Olympic-size swimming pools and new diving platforms. It is home for many competitive swimmers, divers, and water polo players as well as for hundreds of children from nearby communities who have learned drowning prevention and swimming skills.

A Culture of Giving

Give back because it’s the right thing to do. This declaration, said in multiple ways by the late Harris Rosen, founder of Rosen Hotels & Resort, propels our philanthropic vision. Our philanthropic vision is as simple as that. Guided by Mr. Rosen’s sincere passion for giving back, Rosen Hotels & Resorts dedicates time, money, and hands-on help to enhance the quality of life of our hometown and neighbors. We also support organizations that share our passion for giving back as well as those with a special focus on education, wellness, animal welfare, and diversity.

Each person, being, and organization who benefit from our philanthropic endeavors are significant to the Rosen Hotels & Resorts family. We strive to empower everyone we help as well as their communities because their success is what matters most.
