Home Pool

The Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Complex, owned and operated by the City of Fort Lauderdale, serves as the home pool for the Cardinal Gibbons Aqua Chiefs. With two 50-meter Olympic-size pools, a dive pool, a teaching pool, and a spa, the facility is easily the best in the area. The entire facility is equipped with lights. It is located just off A1A, across the street from the Atlantic Ocean, at 501 Seabreeze Boulevard. It seats 2,500 spectators. Since the complex opened in 1965, it has hosted the state high school championships 17 times, the NCAA Water Polo Championships (1997), and the USA Swimming Championships. It has seen ten world records, most recently by Michael Phelps in 2002. The FLAC is home to the International Swimming Hall of Fame. It replaced the Las Olas Casino Pool (1928-66), which was the first of Olympic size in Florida. The Casino pool hosted the high school state finals in 1941.
