The ever-so-busy Greensboro Aquatic Center in Greensboro, North Carolina will be constructing a second building that will house an L-shaped pool with five 50-meter lanes and 10 lanes adaptable to 25 meters or yards. The second building will be conjoined by a breezeway corridor to the already existing GAC.<\/p>\n

The pool opened in 2011 and has hosted NCAA, YMCA and ACC championship events and numerous other USA Swimming club meets. The pool also hosts the Greensboro community and provides swim lessons, swim clubs, high schools, water polo leagues and water therapy. Coliseum managing director Matt Brown<\/strong> proposed the new fourth pool.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are literally at maximum occupancy,\u201d Brown explained to News and Record<\/em><\/a>. \u201cYou name the program, and we don\u2019t have enough lane-line times available. Whether it\u2019s a team practice, whether it\u2019s a college meet, whether it\u2019s local school swim teams, whether it\u2019s therapeutic time, whether it\u2019s a learn-to-swim program, there\u2019s not enough time in the day to accommodate the usage now.”<\/p>\n

The construction costs for the new pool is estimated at $7 million according to Brown.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt meets our needs,\u201d Brown said to\u00a0News and Record’s\u00a0<\/em>Jeff Mills<\/strong>. \u201cWe want to keep our everyday programming going on while these economic-engine meets are coming to our community. We don\u2019t want to sacrifice local users to have a national meet. We want to accomplish both.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greensboro mayor Nancy Vaughan<\/strong> has already given the go ahead on the project that is expected to open in January 2019.\u00a0\u201cWe will have to sign off on the final bids that come in. But city council has already said this is a direction we want to move,” Vaughan said.<\/p>\n

The addition of the fourth pool will likely attract more and more meets to Greensboro. During big meets like the NCAA, ACC and YMCA championships, the fourth pool may only be used as a practice area. But the championship meets are not the meets the city is worried about.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the other 85 percent of the meets, the other 50 events we do each year,\u201d GAC manager Susan Braman<\/strong>\u00a0commented to Mills. \u201cWe can easily still have public lanes and swimming lessons and teams practicing in (the addition) while those meets are going on.\u201d<\/p>\n
