Championship Hall Now Open,
But More to do to Prepare for the Future
and Reflect Our Heritage
Swiminc is excited to honor Coach Jim Callahan’s 25 years of dedication and the excellence of Worthington’s aquatic programs. The Worthington Pools now has the needed additional room for dry land training, athlete education and expanded space during aquatic events. The way we are now capable of training our athletes has completly changed. The Worthington Natatorium is setting the standard for smooth running and entertaining meets.
The new large screen, dot matrix scoreboard donated by Thompson-Cunningham Insurance Agency in Worthington and Motorists Insurance Companies, has been the crown jewel of our renovation, with the ability to include athletes names, pictures and video. All are impressed with the new information and entertainment provided.

About Swiminc: Swiminc was incorporated in 1953 and began operations with the construction of its first outdoor pool on the campus of Thomas Worthington High School in 1954. The 501(c)(3) non-profit organization is operated by a volunteer Board of Directors. Since the construction of its original pool, Swiminc has added two additional outdoor pools, and in 1972 built a natatorium for year-round use. The entire pool complex is known today as the C. David Howell Worthington Pools Complex, in honor of C. David Howell, who was a driving force behind the formation of Swiminc and the construction of the pool complex.
