PHOTO VAULT: Northern Arizona’s Pool Starting To Take Shape

Northern Arizona University is getting a new home for its swimming and diving program, and coach Andy Johns has been kind enough to share photos of the new building over the last year. Swimming fans can watch a time-lapse of sorts as the facility starts to rise from the ground up.

You can also watch a live webcam of construction by following this link.

Altitude would be a factor. I do not know what you mean by “big meets”, but I doubt that a meet like Sectionals or higher would be there based on this. Awesome looking pool though!
