SAVE THE ACADIA UNIVERSITY POOL

Feb 14

Help Keep the Acadia Pool Open – Act Now!

We are reaching out to you with an immediate to action following February’s announcement that Acadia University will be closing its pool on June 15, 2025 due to financial constraints.

This closure will have a devastating impact not only on the local swimming community but also on swimmers across Nova Scotia who rely on this facility for training, competition, and recreational use.

The loss of the Wolfville Tritons Swim Club (WTSC), one of Nova Scotia’s top competitive swimming programs available to youth and the Acadia Varsity Swim Team, one of only two university swim teams in the province, will affect the entire sport of swimming in our province.
