Adirondack Aquatic Center Information

The Adirondack Aquatic Center focuses specifically on aquatics, with four indoor pools of varying temperatures, sizes, and depths to satisfy all customers’ needs. The outdoor component consists of an Olympic-size pool and an ADA-compliant splash park that will be open during the warm weather months. Our Mission 1. Prevent drowning by teaching children and adults how to swim. AAC will provide learn-to-swim scholarship programs for those who may not be able to afford it. Learning to swim can save a life. 2. Promote adult fitness, especially for those who are limited on land. There are few indoor facilities that offer the proper aquatic experience for adults to get and stay strong in the water. It is necessary to provide warm water for some aspects of aquatic exercise. AAC will have four pools for promoting adult fitness: a therapeutic pool 88 degrees warm, an instructional pool which is 86 degrees, a community/competition/training pool of 79 degrees, and a diving well between 81-83 degrees. 3. Provide a center for competition. AAC will be a venue for teaching children aquatic sports and promoting good sportsmanship. It will be a space where athletes of all ages – from developing 6-year-olds to masters swimmers and triathletes – can practice and compete. We would provide classes and learning opportunities to many, many sports that need water. Building and operating such a center is not a money-making venture. It is passion that is the driving focus behind such a vision. To see children become safe swimmers, to see adults get stronger in the water so their quality of life is better on land, to see the highest level of competition is our passion. As a not-for-profit organization, we will raise money through grants and tax-deductible donations from public and private organizations, foundations, and individuals.
