Basavanagudi Aquatic Centre
Basavanagudi Aquatic Centre (BAC) is one of the few sports clubs in India, which has completed 25 glorious years and takes pride in being the first swimming organization in Karnataka, where the Public-private Partnership took place and is being executed successfully.
After recognizing the excellent work by the Centre, the Bangalore City Corporation leased the corporation swimming pool at Pampamaha Kavi Road, Basavanagudi, Bangalore to the Centre for a period of three years in the year 1991. The Bangalore City Corporation has further extended the lease period for 30 years for developing the necessary infrastructures.
The Centre has built the Elite Swimmer Training Complex comprising of a 20mx25M size training swimming pool and a modern gymnasium for weight training along with other allied facilities beside the main corporation swimming pool. The Elite swimmer training complex was commissioned in the year 1997 with the help of donations from individuals, institutions, and industrial houses.
