A New Home The aquatic program is building a new home. The planning for a new complex is complete with the design stage well underway. The new facility will feature a 10-lane, 50-meter by 25-meter competition pool that will allow 1,500 spectators a bird’s eye view while seating an additional 1,000 people on the pool deck. Also featured will be a separate diving well with a tower. The team is hoping to see a picture of what the aquatic center could look like by mid-season. They are still a year away from breaking ground, but hope to have the complex completed between September 2003 and January 2004.
