Northgate High School currently has no aquatics facility to house its water polo and swim teams and to accommodate its popular and growing aquatics programs. The original plans for Northgate included a pool, but it was not constructed due to lack of funds. Currently, coaches have to locate a pool for every season, and our student athletes must travel to practice at remote pools at inconvenient times.

A new aquatics center will permit on-campus programs for all students. Plans include a 50-meter Olympic pool, 1- and 3-meter diving boards, a new bathhouse with locker rooms, new office space, and a dry-land training area. The building will also include a new multi-purpose room to house the growing dance, wrestling, and sports medicine programs as well as provide more space for physical education programs.

Many local recreational and year-round swim clubs and water polo teams could make use of the new center. Handicapped access could make community health and exercise programs available to more area residents.
