Webster Aquatic Center   WebsterWAC Bubbles

Since its grand opening in April 2002, the WAC has become a focal point for diving in the greater Webster area. The WAC is now home to the largest Diving Club in New York State.
The idea for Aquatic Center was born in 1998 out of a need for improved facilities during the time when Webster Schools were expanding from one high school to two. The superintendent of schools and town supervisor at that time worked together to encourage development of facilities that would meet the needs of the entire community. This Town-School Partnership successfully leveraged school state aid with community funds to construct the Webster Aquatic Center adjacent to Schroeder High School along with a multi-use field house and playing fields at other sites throughout the school district.

The Tivo is set to play back the live video signal with a 20 second delay, just enough After a diver completes their dive, he/she is able to view the dive immediately upon exiting the pool. This instant feedback is invaluable for recognizing and correcting errors in the dive.

Bubbler System

The bubbler system provides divers a soft entry, reducing injuries and extending diving practice. The bubbler system works by piping compressed air that is controlled by a hand held transmitter. With "on demand " control, air is released from diffusers at the bottom of the pool aerates the water directly below each diving board helping to decrease the chance of pain or injury to a diver if he or she enters the water at the wrong angle.
