History

[edit]

The Nassau County Aquatics Center was built in 1998 for theGoodwill Games.[2] Since the Goodwill Games in 1998, it has hosted numerous swimming championships and high level competitions including theUSA Swimming National Championship,NCAA National Championship,Big East Conference Championship (16 times), andFINA World Cup.

The center is 80,000 square feet (7,400 m2) with a 68-metre (223 ft) pool and three moveable bulkheads to accommodate SCM, SCY, and LCM competition.[3] In 2002,Natalie Coughlin set multiple world records during the FINA World Cup at the center.[1] In 2002 it was reported that the pool had lost millions of dollars.[1] Dave Ferris was aquatics director in 2002, he reportedly questioned the reported losses, stating that "I don't believe expenses on the building are completely clear at this time".[1] In 2011, the facility underwent a renovation after a 40-pound light fixture fell about 55 feet (17 m) into the swimming pool.[4]

Since 2011, it had also been proposed to build an additional, 50-metre (160 ft) outdoor pool adjacent to the existing facility.[4]
