Gateway Aquatic Center is a swimming pool located in Ketchikan, Alaska, USA.
History
By the late 2000s, Ketchikan's Mike Smithers Pool, which had been built in the 1970s, started showing its age, and work began on a new, bigger aquatic center, with construction starting in January 2010.[1][2][3]
The eventually named Gateway Aquatic Center opened on July 28, 2012.[4][5]
