USA Swimming has created a Facilities Development Department to assist member clubs and affiliated organizations. This assistance includes developing and planning new aquatic facilities as well as renovating and upgrading existing facilities. We also assist in developing and designing complimentary aquatic programs.

"Plan It - Program It - Design It"

As of April 2009, we have conducted 5 National Build a Pool Conferences.  To date we estimate this conference has been an important part of over 65 new facilities being commissioned since 2004.  It has also played a secondary role in over 100 additional projects. Our professioanl providers have played a MAJOR part in these successes.

We have decided to make an effort to take the Build a Pool Conference to the regional level so our clubs and projects have a more economical option to acquire information. These 1 day 8 hour events (or a day and a half, 12 hour events) will be conducted by our Facilities Development Department staff.
