The Aquatic Center was built in 1983 and houses an eight lane indoor swimming pool 100 feet by 64 feet, with depth ranging from 2 1/2 feet to 12 feet. The pool is equipped with a one-meter diving board. The pool contains 300,000 gallons of water.

The Aquatic facility is also home to the Columbus High School "Discoverers" swim team.  During the swim season, which runs November through February; with practices, swim meets and regional conferences, you'll find plenty of high school swimming action here.  Check the Columbus High School for scheduled home meets and conferences.  The Columbus Aquatic Association raised the funds for a new scoring system that includes new touch pads, starting block speakers, and a beautiful score board.  A new record board was also installed that displays the  events, times, and record holders.
