Dive into a safer and healthier Southampton! ✨ We are excited to share the recently produced artistic renderings of the future #STARAquaCenter Competition Pool (image 1) and the Warm Water/Activity Pool & Splash Area (image 2). ✨ Our Facility Planning Committee, composed of STAR Board Members and local design professionals, has together with @counsilmanhunsaker, the leading aquatic planning and design firm in the US, worked hard these past couple of months to bring our vision to life — a state of the art facility for everyone in our community. The result: an 8-lane competition pool with two 1m diving boards, and a multi-functional warm water pool composed of three different water depths and zero-depth entry. Be a part of something extraordinary. Your support will bring this vision to life and make a lasting impact on generations to come. Join us in creating a community hub that nurtures a healthier, safer, and happier Southampton! ✨ To learn more about the project or to make a tax-deductible donation, click the link in our bio or visit staraquacenter.org Renderings by Rogers McCagg Architects #rogersmccaggarchitects #SouthamptonNY #thehamptons #communityproject #swimming #swimmingpool #communityhealth #watersafety
