CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - A group of swim enthusiasts is lobbying for an aquatic center in the North Conway, N.H., area that would offer different pools for recreation, fitness and competitive racing and therapy. It would be the first center of its kind in the state.
In addition to providing a forum for local and regional swim teams and swimming instruction to different age groups, the White Mountain Aquatic Foundation, which proposed the project, believes it would attract more than locals. The area is a tourism hub with shopping, summer theme parks and winter skiing.
The project, still in its infancy, has been estimated to cost about $14 million. The foundation is raising money for a feasibility study.
