Aquatic centers are facing increasing pressure to accommodate diverse programming, everything from baby aerobics to water yoga. Everyone wants a part of the pool. Too often, debates over the design can turn nasty, with emotions running high.
For community-center leaders, it often seems impossible to keep everyone happy. Tight budgets and a diverse range of popular activities make it harder to create facilities that are cost-effective and meet the real needs of the community.
At LPA, we’ve been through these discussions many times. Tough choices need to be made. But a well-planned design can satisfy the community with facilities that make economic sense and provide flexibility to accommodate shifting interests.
