Summary
A Mobile County commissioner said construction of a new aquatic center is roughly half finished, with phase 1 — including indoor instructional pools and a 50-meter outdoor competition pool — scheduled to open in late May 2026. The site will include restrooms/lockers, an initial 127-space parking lot and other visitor amenities.
A Mobile County commissioner (name not specified in the transcript) said construction of a new aquatic center in District 2 is about 50% complete and on schedule for an opening of phase 1 in late May 2026.
The commissioner said the outdoor 50-meter competition pool has been cleaned and will soon be tiled, and that Building A will contain restrooms and locker rooms at the entry. "Once you enter the building, this building will house the indoor pools, the instructional and warm up pool, which will be built as part of the first phase," the commissioner said. The commissioner added that the area directly in front of the building will serve as an initial parking lot with 127 spaces.
The commissioner described recent site activity as shifting from groundwork to vertical construction, saying the project is "really starting to take shape" and remains on budget and on schedule. The remarks were part of a recorded video tour of projects in Mobile County Commission District 2.
No formal votes or funding ordinance numbers were given during the presentation, and the commissioner did not provide a contractor name or a specific budget total during the recorded remarks. Details about future phases, including additional facilities or operating plans, were described as part of ongoing development but without dates or funding sources specified.
