Frisco Aquatics adding $3M pool, sponsors as club grows

FRISCO – Frisco Aquatics is currently building a 29,540-sf swim center at 8353 Legacy Dr. The facility, which sits on a 3.5-acre tract, has an estimated cost of construction of $3 million, according to state filings.

The new facility, which includes an Olympic-size pool, warm water lesson pool, viewing lobby and offices, is expected to be complete sometime in September and a grand opening is expected to be held sometime this fall.

Frisco Aquatics is one of few youth sports teams in the country to build its own facility and seek corporate sponsorships. Since 2009, the Frisco club has seen unprecedented growth with its membership increasing from about 140 swimmers that year to more than 600 today.

The new center is expected to offer therapeutic swimming, Special Olympics, water safety clinics and education. It will also have SwimAmerica learn-to-swim and United States Masters Swimming programs.

The North Texas Ford Dealers Group has purchased the naming rights to the facility, and the facility will be called Texas Ford Aquatics Center beginning September 1.
