Propel Swim Academy is a three pool, 12,000 ft² facility located in South Riding, Virginia. This family friendly swim school is the only stand-alone facility in the South Riding area to feature three indoor pools. During planning, Propel‘s owner, Linda Stewart, focused on three primary goals: water quality, sustainability and a compact footprint.

The Fredericksburg Sewer & Water Authority (FSWA) owns and operates two wastewater treatment plants, five wastewater pumping stations, three wells and three water storage facilities.

Waterborne microorganisms and contaminants of emerging concern such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products in the water are responsible for adverse effects on the flavor, color, odor and shelf life of soft drinks, bottled water and food products. Water used in the food and beverage industry, either for product, or as part of the process must be treated in order to ensure the integrity of the product. Ultraviolet disinfection provides an effective disinfection solution.
