Doral Aquatics Center

Located within the 78-acre Doral Central Park, Doral Aquatics Center delivers a versatile aquatics environment for athletes and families alike. The centerpiece is a 12,632-square-foot, 50-meter competition pool with eight primary lanes, 22 cross-course lanes, a movable bulkhead and depths ranging from 7 to 13 feet. Configurable for 50-meter, 25-meter and 25-yard courses, the pool accommodates lap swimming, water polo and major competitive events, with seating for 540 spectators. The facility now serves as the home pool for the Florida International University swim team. Supporting athletic training, a 3,578-square-foot training pool features six 25-yard lanes and accessible entry, making it ideal for lessons, warm-ups and conditioning. Families enjoy a 926-square-foot wading pool with zero-depth entry and interactive water features, while an 8,572-square-foot leisure pool offers a play structure, a vortex, two waterslides, a waterwalk crossing, and varying depths to suit all ages and abilities. Community input guided the facility’s design, ensuring amenities reflect local needs and support recreational engagement. Counsilman-Hunsaker led feasibility studies and programming recommendations, translating resident feedback into a functional, inclusive aquatics environment. The Doral Aquatics Center combines competition-ready infrastructure with family-focused leisure areas, creating a dynamic hub for fitness, play and social connection while supporting collegiate and community swimming programs.
