For three weeks in December and January, College Swim Teams from around the country travel to Palm Beach County’s Aquacrest Pool and North County Aquatic Complex to train for the fall season. The teams travel from as far west as Iowa to as far north as Michigan to escape frigid temperatures that make it difficult to train. As students from Michigan State and New York’s Wagner College explain, Palm Beach County’s palm trees and beaches allow them to take a mental break during the winter.

Aquacrest Pool and North County Aquatic Complex are owned and operated by the Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation. Providing for athletic programming and facilities is one of the core services of the Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department.
