About Sumter Aquatics Center

The public Aquatics Center’s six-lane, 25-meter pool meets requirements for competition swim meets with its unique design and is fully equipped with swim lanes, diving blocks, and electronic timer and touch pads. Each year, the center hosts more than 11 swim meets for the city league, community invitational and high school. In October, the center is host to the TriSumter Triathlon. The sprint triathlon includes a 300-yard swim in the heated six-lane pool, continues on with a 16-mile bike ride and wraps up with a 5k run at the Aquatics Center. For the recreational swimmer, the center is open six days a week and is swimmer-friendly for all ages. The Aquatics Center also has a twisting tube waterslide, an adjustable spray fountain and a wading pool with beach entrance for easy access. This official American Red Cross facility boasts an experienced training staff for the Sumter community. Training is available for lifeguards and water safety instructors. Stroke and turn training for volunteers and staff to assist at swim meets is also available.
