Facilities
The Scenic City Aquatic Club is an affiliate of the Girls Preparatory
School and the McCallie School. Practices are conducted indoors at both
locations. Depending on their needs, our swimmers can train yards or
meters in either pool. Associated with both pools is a fully equipped
weight room and meeting rooms.
Scenic City meets will normally be hosted at the McCallie pool
because of its larger size and greater seating capacity. For competition,
both pools feature electronic timing, a digital scoreboard, and
computerized scoring.
