Mission Statement
As citizens of Wilmington and New Hanover County, we are advocating for the construction of a multi-functional year-round aquatic facility in the area. An additional facility will increase local access to swimming in the region and provide relief to currently overwhelmed facilities. It will also allow citizens of all ages to enjoy the water in a safe environment throughout the year, contribute to the health and fitness of the entire population, and become a social and economic benefit to the region. In addition, building the facility to Class A standards will provide a place for Wilmington and New Hanover County competitive swimmers to make waves!
What Is Our Vision?
A year-round aquatic center that supports a 50 meter competition pool, a 25 yard warm water pool, a 10 meter dive tower with a deep dive well, including meeting room (s) to administer “dry land” training and support conference needs. The facilities pictured below in North and South Carolina serve as examples of what our aquatic center might become.
