Aquatic and Fitness Center

Jimmy C. Draughn Aquatic & Fitness Center was established in the Fall of 2000 after a major renovation of the community center.  The new renovated center now provides a weight and fitness center, renovated locker rooms, and an enclosed swimming pool that features ten swimming lanes.  The pool also provides a diving board, a shallow end for young swimmers, and open swim lanes for lap swimmers.  The pool is used for high school swim meets, birthday parties, public swimming, swim practices, and water aerobics.  Come and enjoy some year-round splashing! 

Hours of Operation: Monday - Friday 6:00am till 9:30pm/ Saturday 8:00am till 9:30pm/ Sunday 1:00pm till 7:00pm
