The paper discusses important design considerations of indoor natatoriums. It addresses enclosure details, air distribution, mechanical equipment, and pool water treatment. It is important to note that all are interdependent entities. Traditionally, indoor natatoriums have been hot, humid, and unpleasant-smelling environments for swimmers. Building owners and operators have been faced with problems of severe building corrosion and consequently, high repair and maintenance bills, as well as high operating costs.
The symptoms of inadequate installation are discussed with their respective solutions, demonstrating that an indoor natatorium, when properly designed and maintained, is a comfortable environment with low maintenance and operating costs.
