One year later.
A year ago, the Acadia Pool closed and the varsity swim team was cut without consultation. Our community lost a vital space for health, training, and connection - and we’re still waiting to see real progress on a new pool for Kings County.
The continue to train and compete without a home pool, delivering strong results despite the challenges.
To the former Acadia swimmers - and university swimmers from across our region - competing this weekend at AUS Championships and at OUA’s, RESQ’s, and other regional championships this month: we’re cheering you on. Your dedication and resilience continue to make this community proud.
You should still be swimming for Acadia. We should all still have the Acadia Pool to swim in - not sitting empty when a fully funded solution was offered.
