A. The 72,000 square foot aquatic facility houses three separate pools; a 50 meter competition pool with a movable bulkhead, a ten lane 25 yard program pool and a separately enclosed warm water instructional pool. Supporting amenities include a spectator seating area with viewing for 1000, a full service cafe, aquatic store, classroom and large locker rooms. There are 14 acres of remaining undeveloped space for future expansion of aquatic facilities.

A. On October 28, 2007, TAC celebrated the opening of its first public aquatic facility in Cary, N.C.. The Michael G. Curran Aquatic Center is a $22.5 million aquatic facility housing three separate pools. Just off I-40 at exit 291, the aquatic center is located on 21.5 wooded acres adjacent to Cary’s largest mall, the Cary Towne Center. This was the first year-round public aquatic facility built in Wake county in the last 22 years and is the largest nonprofit public aquatic facility in the country built without one dollar of tax funding or subsidies. In 2012, TAC sponsored a USA Swimming year-round swim team, the TAC TITANS that is now the largest swim team in the Triangle.

A: Mission:To build and operate public aquatic facilities for the health, safety, recreation and competition needs of Triangle citizens and aquatic organizations

A: Purpose:To be a catalyst for the development of year-round public aquatic facilities and programming.

A: On May 6, 2002, a group of swimming parents met to research aquatic facility options for the Triangle. After much research, the group determined that there was a severe lack of public aquatic facilities for all aquatic organizations and citizens in the Triangle. As a result, the group decided to incorporate a nonprofit organization and developed a much broader mission to provide public aquatic facilities throughout the Triangle region for all citizens and aquatic organizations. TAC was subsequently incorporated on June 27, 2002 and begin the journey.

A. TAC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization with a mission to build public aquatic facilities. TAC was originally funded with a donation from the Curran Family Foundation and a guarantee for a loan. Additional funding comes from donations from the community, sponsorships, advertisding and debt. The primary sources of ongoing income to pay off the debt and operate the aquatic facilities are derived from:

• Lane rental fees
• Program fees
• User fees
• Cafe and aquatic store proceeds
• Donations
• Corporate Sponsorship and advertising

A. At the current location in Cary, TAC owns 21.5 acres of land that would allow expansion to more than double the current size to meet Cary’s growing population. Throughout the Triangle, the TAC Board has entered into discussions with other partners to build public aquatic facilities. Using a successful partnership model that aligns the community will allow more public aquatic facilities to be built, with higher quality operations, open admission, and customer-driven programming at the least cost of capital and operating cost to taxpayers.

A. Quality aquatic programming has been and continues to be developed to meet TAC’s mission of health, safety, recreation and competition. There are currently multiple learn-to-swim programs for all ages, aquacise programs, fitness programs, competitive year-round swim teams, water polo, scuba and much more. New programs are being developed every week based on the needs of the community and are posted on-line at www.triangleaquatics.org. External aquatic groups are encouraged to lease space and conduct their own programs as well!

A. The facility always tries to have free lanes available for “walk in” swimming. However, please know that total attendance varies widely due to swim meets, programs and the lesson schedule. The pool is typically less full on weekdays before 4:00 PM.
