The new dive tower at the Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Center in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is a multifaceted renovation project for this world-renowned aquatic center that has been a leader and pioneer among aquatic centers worldwide since 1928. The city made a commitment to update and rebuild the facility with the focus of ensuring its continued legacy within the aquatic sports community. This project is the first permanent 27 m (89 ft) dive tower in not only the United States but also in the Western Hemisphere. The tower design had to meet stringent FINA (Federation Internationale de Natation), now World Aquatics, requirements. The design of the dive tower was vetted with the FINA Facilities Committee for the rules of diving-springboard and platform-and the rules of high diving. This is the first dive tower in the world that incorporates diving and high diving for competitive sports competition within one structure. This innovative design has now been incorporated into the FINA facilities standard manual. |
