The Madison Valley Aquatic Center has hired Water Technologies, Inc. to create a design that will fit our county’s needs for an indoor water health facility. In December, 2008, representatives from Water Technology visited the Madison Valley and surrounding areas to get a sense of our county and what type of swimming pool complex would best work here. They presented a slide show of other projects that they have completed and talked about the different features MVAC might want to include. MVAC’s vision is to provide year-around water recreation promoting physical and mental health, therapy and fun for children, teens, adults, and elders. With three different river ecosystems, one of the greatest needs the Madison County has, is teaching water safety to all of its residents. MVAC will be a place for everyone to learn swimming skills that will protect them around water recreation in other situations. MVAC plans a facility with three distinct water areas. One will be fairly shallow and have play equipment for young children. A therapy pool will provide a setting for water aerobics and other therapy for anyone needing a warm water environment. A lap pool will provide a third area for lap swimming, water sports including basketball and volleyball, competitive swimming, and kayaking and scuba classes. The location of MVAC will be at the Ennis bus barn. Madison Valley Aquatic Center, Inc. is 501 (c) (3) corporation. All donations are tax deductible. MVAC would like to thank all of its generous supporters who have helped this first phase of planning. For more information about how you can help or what’s being planned, please contact president Jennifer Cashman Green at 682-5654 or jenmike@3rivers.net.
