BRIDGEPORT, Pa. — The home of Johns Hopkins University swimming and water polo will soon have a new look as the institution’s Newton White Athletic Center Natatorium will soon experience a face-lift.
The renovations include installing a Myrtha tank — the fastest technology in the world for pools per Scott Armstrong, Johns Hopkins head men’s and women’s swimming coach. In competitive swimming, a “fast” pool design enables swimmers to perform to the best of their abilities. For instance, the new design will bring the water level up to the deck height and have rim flow gutters, creating less tumultuous water.
The renovations are scheduled to begin in April 2025 and will also feature new lighting, audio system, pool floor, starting blocks and wave-eating lane lines.
The Hopkins Pool Renovation Project officially launched on June 5, 2024. To support the $2.5 million campaign CLICK HERE.
