Public Swimming Pool Design

Public swimming pools can have multiple functions:

 Competition pools
 Exercise pools
 Rehabilitation / thermal / therapy pools
 Wellbeing and relax pools

Standards, prescriptions and indications for a correct planning are demanded for all these typologies;
but major constraints, like dimensions, especially apply to pools for competitive use and training.

Similarly, according to the size of the pool, we classify competition pools in:

 Olympic swimming pools (50×25 m, depth min 1,80-2,00 mt, depth max 2,10 mt, lanes
from 8 to 10, lane width 2,5 m)
 Semi-olympic (21×25 m, min depth 1,20 mt, max depth 1,80 m; 8 lanes with lane
width 2,5 mt)
 Minimum size pools (10×25 mt, min depth 1,20 mt, max depth 1,80 mt; 8 lanes)
 Women’s water polo field (20x25mt, min depth 1,80 m)
 Men’s water polo field (20x30mt, min depth 1,80 m)
