The design-build team for this $29.7-million project delivered Virginia's largest competitive aquatic facility and one of the largest in the region. The more than 62,000-sq-ft center includes a 50-meter competitive pool with seats for 1,500 spectators, a whirlpool, a state-of-the-art timing system and a scoreboard. The facility also includes a 25-yard program pool, amenity spaces and a seasonal outdoor splash park area with a leisure pool, lazy river and two tower body slides. 

Completed at budget and on schedule in 17 months, the project transformed a blighted site in the Coliseum Central District of Hampton into a flexible facility that can host a variety of aquatic events, including  local, regional and national swimming and diving competitions. The facility was designed to meet the local community’s aquatic programming needs. It includes advanced technology for energy systems and an innovative chloramine removal system.
