The grand reopening of the Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Center made a splash in June 2022. The focal point of the $27 million renovation project was the impressive dive tower. At 27 meters, the structure is the tallest dive tower in the Western Hemisphere, and it is the first in the world to incorporate diving and high diving for competition in one precast concrete structure. Home to the International Swim Hall of Fame, the Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Center sits between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Seen from a distance, the dive tower rises to the sky with fluid curves that emulate the nearby ocean. The tower includes an iconic sculptural form that has nine platform levels: 15-, 20-, 24-, and 27-meter high-diving platforms and 1-, 3-, 5-, 7.5-, and 10-meter diving platforms. The tower is also designed to accommodate up to five springboards. |
