 On November 8, 1980, the Dynamo
organization realized its long sought dream of a home facility with
the dedication of the new Dynamo Community Swim Center. The
$500,000 facility is a two-pool complex owned and operated by the
Dynamo Parents` Club, Inc. In addition to accommodating the
training needs of the Dynamo Swim Club, the facility also serves
the Atlanta community with instructional, health, certification,
and recreational programs for people of all ages.
The focal point of the Swim Center is the
indoor 25-yard by 25-meter competition pool. The 25yard course
offers 10 lanes, each 8-feet in width. To minimize water
turbulence, the pool ranges in depth form 6-1/2 to 7 feet and is
constructed with an 18-inch deep overflow gutter system. Tracy
Caulkins and Angel Meyers have set two American Records in this
pool. The second indoor pool is 25-yards long by 35-feet wide,
providing an additional 5 lanes for training. This pool is used for
instructional purposes and also serves as the warm-up warm-down
facility during competition. In addition to the two indoor pools,
the Swim Center houses administrative offices, a meeting/
concession room, and a carpeted 25 x 30-foot weight training room
equipped with both Universal and Nautilus strength-training
machines. The facility accommodates up to 600 competitors and
spectators and includes dressing rooms with adequate shower and
toilet facilities.
A third pool, which was completed in the
spring of 1991, is a $750,000 8-lane 50-meter outdoor pool. The
depth, 7 feet on each end and 9 feet in the center, and a
state-of-the -art water return system are designed to make this a
great competition pool as well as expanding our outstanding
training complex. This fall we will be enclosing it in a clamshell
structure providing additional year-round training space as well as
enhancing our ability to offer regional and national level
meets.
