An aquatic center is being proposed in Malta
would have multiple swimming pools for training,
competing and fitness swimming.
“A group of us got together about three years ago
and said, ‘wouldn’t it be great to have a 50 meter pool
in the Capital District?’ The closest Olympic-sized
pool is about two hours away, and we all thought
there was a need in our market for it,” said Tara
Sullivan, one of three officers for what would be
called the Adirondack Aquatic Center.
The group hired a consulting company to conduct
a feasibility study.
“Our consultant is very highly regarded in the
competitive aquatics world. He was president of
USA Swimming, and he writes for FINA (the governing
body of Olympic swimming and aquatic
sports),” said Sullivan.
