We’re building a world-class aquatics facility designed to serve every swimmer—from first splashes to championship finishes—uniting our community and empowering the next generation of student athletes.
Introducing the Future Home of Aquatics in Our Community
Purpose-built to serve every swimmer — from first lessons to championship meets.
The new facility—we’re affectionately calling it The Shark Tank for now—will feature two state-of-the-art pools, spectator seating, and modern amenities to support athletes, families, and the broader community. Designed with access, competition, and connection in mind, it will meet the growing demand for aquatics at every level.
With your partnership, The Shark Tank will support…
Community Aquatics Access
opening the door to broader community access, from open-swim time for families to connect, to private events and therapeutic aquatics programming.
Water Safety
offering early water safety programs for young children and caregivers, laying the foundation for a lifetime of safe aquatic experiences.
Swimming Lessons
allowing NTA to expand its swim lesson offerings, reducing waitlists and reaching more children at every skill level.
NTA Competitive Swim
giving NTA’s competitive swim team a dedicated home, expanding access for current athletes and opening doors for new talent.
Water Polo
