Welcome to EGAC’s Back to Swim, Slides, and Slices
at ELK GROVE AQUATIC CENTER
UPDATE- WATERSLIDES ARE BACK UP!
Unfortunately due to some technical difficulties and flooding in the pump room that the slides will not be working during this meet. The CSD facility manager is working hard to see if they could get it back up before Saturday but they will likely not be able to get the equipment in time to fix the electrical issues.
We still plan on having the meet and there isn’t an effect on events. We are adjusting our pool so that we can use the competition pool to have both the meet and a water inflatable set up. We are working to make sure minimum disruptions to the meet.
