A very preliminary design was unveiled recently for a Northshore Aquatic Center (attached)
to be centrally sited in a redeveloped downtown Bothell.
We have general agreement that current public sector AC's succeed by appealing to multiple
user groups with the lazy-river and therapy, in addition to a lap pool.
A suggestion from the crowd was made, to maximize user traffic (revenue generating events),
by configuring/blending the competitive pool to affordably accommodate:
1) High School & College swim/dive specifications (dimensions/number of boards) Boards would need to be constructed so that they could be raised to allow competitive swimming under them.
2) Deep water Yes
Diving
Scuba
Water polo
Synchronized swimming
3) Shallower water
Lap/stroke competition
General swim
Rectangular? El shape? Movable bulkhead? The L does a good job of isolating the deep water but does not allow for the 25 yard x 25 meter configuration for swimming competitively both directions. Obviously a 50 meter pool would be best with a movable bulkhead but more cost and space. The 50 M would allow for different activities in the deep water and shallow water with the bulkhead. Also the 50 M would allow for warm-up water while competitive swimming in either the 25 yard or 25 M configuration.
Concurrent use? See above
Any comments, advice, identifiable existing venues that
accomplish the above would be great to know about.
Time is of the essence.
