Groundbreaking Ceremony

Members of the Seneca Valley School Board joined administrators, staff, students, coaches and swim families to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new SV Aquatic Center on Sept. 16, 2019.

The group gathered to celebrate the start of a facility that, once completed, will reach people of all ages and teach a life skill, and at times, a life-saving skill.

The current natatorium is well over 50 years old, and a replacement facility has been part of the future planning for the District since 2014. As Heather Lewis, athletic director, said: “There’s a famous saying out there that says swimming doesn’t build character, it reveals character. We look forward to providing an outlet for students to experience both.”
