In 2001, the facility was renamed the Larry A. Dale Aquatic Center in honor of the former Mayor whose aggressiveness toward the pool project was key in bringing the Aquatic Center to Sanford. The Myrtha competition pool was built by Weller Pools using many of the same design innovations used in the pools built for the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. Featuring eight 50 meter lanes, twenty 25 yard lanes, this state-of-the-art pool can accommodate any aquatic competition in the world, including international water polo and synchronized swimming. Since opening, the pool has hosted numerous competitive tournaments and events, including high school championship swimming and diving, the 2001 Sunshine State Games, and the 2002 Florida High School State Water Polo Championships.
