Recirculation system – All three pools share a recirculation system.  The filter rate does not meet today’s new standards when all three pools are in operation due to the sizing and configuration of the piping, pumps, and filters.

Gutter – Water level is below the gutter lip along the north one-third of the outdoor pool causing ineffective skimming and inconsistent removal of debris from the water surface.  In addition, the style of gutter is a potential hazard.

Pool structure – During a hammer test of the 50-meter outdoor pool, various hollow areas in the floor and walls were identified.

Filter room – Equipment corrosion is occurring due to the chemical storage within the filter area.  Ideally, chemicals should be kept in an isolated room.  The edge of the concrete slab over the surge and backwash pits has exposed reinforcing steel that is continuing to corrode.

Heating system – The pool heater is sized for the indoor 25-yard pool, so when the 50-meter and wading pools are filled in the spring, the heater cannot adequately heat all of the pools.  The result is cold water for several weeks in May and June.

Roof – The fabric roof has exceeded its life expectancy and needs to be replaced.  Most of the UV protective coating has peeled off.  Many of the bolts are rusted or missing and should be replaced.

Air quality – The HVAC system is inadequate for competitive swimming.

Acoustics – Noise echoes easily within the indoor pool area making it difficult to hear the instructor during exercise classes or lessons.

Pool features – The wading pool features and water slides were added in 1995 and are in fair condition.  The slide tower stairs are steep and narrow.

Water depth – Facility does not have an area with 2-3½ ft deep water for younger children.  Shallow water is scarce and often overcrowded.

Storage area – The facility has inadequate storage space.  Equipment is primarily stored in the filter room loft, in the north mechanical room, or on the deck.

Seating and deck space – The facility has limited seating and deck space during competitive swim meets or lessons. 

Shade – With the growing concerns of excessive sun exposure, shade in the water is becoming popular in addition to increased shade on the deck.  Currently, a small amount shade is being provided on the pool deck.  Trees are located near the fence on the north side of the 50-meter pool and a circular sunshade was placed at the southeast corner of the wading pool during its renovation in 1995.
