Splashing Soon in the Town of Dallas!

Gaston Aquatics has chosen the Town of Dallas for our home and couldn’t be more excited to make some waves along 321. Our site is ideally situated behind Ingles Market and beside Carr Elementary School. We can’t wait to make 642 W. Carpenter St. the home for a Total Aquatic Solution for all of Gaston County. 


In March of 2016, Gaston Aquatics was founded as a 501 (c) 3 with the goal of fulfilling the long-time need for an aquatic center in Gaston County. The current plans for the 34,000 sq. ft. project include a cool water 50-meter pool, a warm water programming pool with zero degree entry for classes, therapy, and aquatic safety instruction, elevated spectator seating for 900+, clinical rooms, a weight room, and a hospitality suite. 

Our Mission

To inspire healthier lives and safer communities by providing inclusive aquatic programs, competitive opportunities, and accessible water safety education for all.

Our Goals

Our key areas focus on offering swim instruction for adults and children, supporting therapy to enhance health and well-being, and providing a training center and competition venue for area swim teams. Check out our Programs page to see how we’re planning to achieve these goals.
