Located at 8400 N Loop 1604 W, San Antonio, TX 78249, the NISD Swim Complex was completed in May of 2013 with the addition of the outdoor Northside ISD Swim Center. The complex consists of four pools, including indoor and outdoor competition pools, as well as a lesson pool and world-class diving well. These facilities have hosted a number of regional, state, and national events, including South Texas Swimming's 2009 and 2010 "A" championships, the 2014 Texas Swimming Associations TAGS championships, USAS's IMX games and the 2014 Southern Zones, the 2014 Masters Nationals Diving, and the 2013 AAU Summer Diving Nationals.

The outdoor swim complex is highlighted by the 50-meter by 25-yard Myrtha competition pool with shaded, stadium bleacher seating for 2,500 and additional seating and space on deck for 1,500. The championship pool will be divided into two, 25-yard courses. Each course will have 10 lanes measuring 7 feet wide, and a water depth ranging from 6 feet, 7 inches to 9 feet. Ten lanes of warm-up space will be available in the 25-yard by 25-meter diving well. Three additional lanes are available in the 25-yard training pool, and 22 lanes in the 50-meter by 25-yard indoor pool, for a total of 35 warm-up lanes. There will be lanes designated for swimmers age 65 and over and for sprints throughout the meet.

Course Information

Already 100 years old when it fell during the bloody battle for which it is best known, the Alamo Mission's famous church façade fronts a wealth of relics showcased in Long Barrack Museum. Texans suffered a bitter defeat during the Battle of the Alamo at the hands of Santa Ana and the Mexican Army in 1836, a dark moment in the Texas Revolution. But this historic event became the catalyst that led to Texan independence and the historic site where it all happened is San Antonio's most widely visited tourist locale.  

Swimmers traveling with their families can enjoy a getaway theme park day at two local attractions. SeaWorld San Antonio is just 9 miles from the pool. There, performing artists include a sea lion, beluga whale, dolphins, and other aquatic creatures. The onsite water park Aquatica offers wet and wild adventures. One raft ride ferries visitors through an underwater corridor along a reef teeming with stingrays and brightly colored tropical fish. Thrill seekers can drive 3 miles to Six Flags. Hop on some terrifying roller coaster rides such as the 200-foot SkyScreamer, which is guaranteed to raise your heart rate. Swimmers wanting wet thrills can check out the White Water Bay rides including Tornado, Twister, Whirlpool, and Big Bender.

The Shops at La Cantera, an upscale, open-air shopping mall, is just 3 miles from the pool. Hundreds of department stores, specialty shops, and restaurants sit on this 150-acre property. Restock the furnace for your next day's swim at the Cheesecake Factory, Brio, P.F. Chang's, or one of the many other restaurants at this shopping destination. 

 La Cantera also houses not one, but two 18-hole golf courses. One of these courses--the Resort Course--hosted one of the oldest PGA events in 1995, the Texas Open. Water features, limestone outcrops, and mature oaks contribute to the beauty and the challenge of this course

The San Antonio Convention and Visitor Bureau website has lots of great information to get you to many local activities and attractions, as well as coupons and special rates to help you enjoy your visit!
