A piscina que serviu para a Seletiva Olímpica Americana para os Jogos Olímpicos de Paris 2024 e que lotaram as arquibancadas do estádio de futebol americano do Indiana Colts, o Lucas Oil Stadium em Indianápolis está a venda. A estrutura da marca Myrtha havia sido adquirida pelo clube Fort Wayne Swim Team da cidade de Fort Wayne, no Nordeste do Estado de Indiana.
O plano era ter a piscina própria para uma equipe que hoje divide seus nadadores em três diferentes localidades, uma piscina de um high school, outra de um middle school e outra de uma piscina da cidade. O plano de construir o local próprio falhou na obtenção de suporte e doadores.
