The small farm diving pool was traded for a world class facility in 1993 , with the dedication of the Moose Moss Aquatic Center in downtown Moultrie . Little did anyone know , but it would become a training site for six Olympic teams and a Can-Am-Mex Championship site . It has entertained multiple Regional and Zone Championship meets and has hosted several national diving championships , including Junior and Senior National Championships . The facility features multiple boards at the diving pool as well as a 6,000-square-foot dry-land gymnasium for additional training . During the 2020-2021 season , the Moss Farms Diving facility underwent major renovations . Among the improvements to the facility are an expanded deck area , a relocated hot tub , a new judges podium , new short board stands , four new boards , new gutters around the pool , a new sparger system ( which releases compressed air to make bubbles that allow for softer landings for divers ), new marcite ( the pool coating ), an updated video analysis system , new electric infrastructure , a new technology network and new fencing . These renovations allowed the local diving well to continue to stand as one of the top diving facilities in the country .
