SINKCOMBSDETHLEFS <br />ARCHITECTURE DESIGN <br />I. Have seen growth in lap swimmers over the last few years. Probably 2 -3 <br />swimmers per lane during peak times. This may be attributed to triathlons. <br />m. Tri -fit group would like to expand this to kids programming. <br />n. Swim meets start at 3pm and shut down use for all other users. Deck space is <br />appropriate for meets. <br />o. Improve the travel distance between different program areas. Preschool goes <br />through the Natatorium to get to the outdoor playground. <br />p. Overall the natatorium needs to be expanded to accommodate all the different <br />user groups. <br />i. It would be wonderful to make the areas specific to their use - fitness and <br />lesson pool, competition pool, leisure pool. <br />q. New Leisure Pool <br />i. Louisville is experiencing much growth with younger families with <br />younger children. The current leisure pool is not adequate. Lots of <br />residents go to Lafayette. <br />ii. Older kids struggle with finding water space for just <br />open /unprogrammed swim times. <br />iii. Saturdays /Sundays are "toddler- palooza ". <br />iv. Slide usage vs. kiddie pool <br />v. Put the slide in a trough <br />vi. Could do lessons in a leisure pool if deep enough <br />vii. "build it and they will come ", similar to the turf fieldhouse <br />viii. Existing water depth is 3 -1/2 ft. If it was deeper could do aqua yoga, etc. <br />ix. A zero -depth entry is needed but don't waste water square footage. <br />x. Have a step around it - too many rescues off of tables. <br />xi. Have minimal play features. If some are included then make it a <br />dedicated zone so there is open water. <br />xii. Current temperature is set to 92 -93 degrees. Actually it is 90 -91. <br />xiii. "Water Exploration" - zones and activities appropriate for age ranges <br />1. 0 -3 <br />2. 3 -5 <br />3. 7 -10 <br />4. 10+ <br />xiv. Toddler slide <br />xv. Play structures with good sightlines and maintenance <br />xvi. Graduate from area to area with parent involvement. <br />xvii. No geysers or jets from the floor. <br />xviii. Slides - concerns over height, staff at top and bottom, dispatch system. <br />Be able to accommodate parent and child. <br />r. Huge need for pool party space. Revenue generating program. This party room <br />could also be used for lifeguard training, making it adjacent to the Natatorium. <br />s. Existing pool is not deep enough for diving (10 ft vs 12 ft). Teams no longer do <br />diving. Collocating this with deep water fitness is an option. Even making a new <br />warm water diving well. <br />t. Huge need for family change area. Be able to secure it from the Natatorium side. <br />Also need to consider gender inclusive restrooms too. <br />17 <br />
