Patrons today demand exciting and fun features, and although swimming lessons are still very popular, it’s important to add modern features to your facility to encourage repeat customers. What’s more, a variety of features will provide patrons of various ages the ability to participate in your pool. For example, shade can be used by both older patrons watching children in the pool and younger families needing a break from the hot sun. There are many programming activities that can only be conducted under certain conditions, and many features can only be placed in certain areas. For example, an indoor facility may want to conduct diving or scuba classes, or may want to start a competitive swimming club, and will need deep water and regulation swimming lap lanes. On the other hand, your facility may really want to include a lazy river, which needs a great deal of space and special equipment. An aquatic consultant will work with you during the planning process to determine what programming and features are most important to you and will help you determine what to include in your facility. Typically, pools are constructed to last an average of 30 to 40 years or more. In our experience, we have evaluated aquatic facilities that have reached 70 plus years and still operating. The bottom line: if your pool is designed, constructed, and maintained properly, it should provide your community with many decades of recreation. Maybe, maybe not. Many pools around the country are simply outdated and in need of a facelift, but are still in good shape. If you have an older pool and you’re thinking about making some updates, start your project with an evaluation of your pool to determine its overall condition. By beginning the process of updating your aging facility with an evaluation, you will have a clear course of action for your facility in the form of consultant recommendations for renovation, enhancement, or replacement.

After you take a look at what our current clients are saying about their experiences, you’ll know why future clients want to work with us! Waters Edge Aquatic Design is one of the top firms in the USA, in their area of expertise, as far as I am concerned. They started off with an excellent analysis of the issues and concerns that we had with our municipal pool and took that information offering several options and pricing packages for us to consider. I have been involved in numerous projects over the years as a City Administrator; I put Waters Edge up at the top with the previous firms I have worked with. Waters Edge has given us sound technical services, cutting edge design and responsive customer service. We have given this firm several challenging projects and we have never regretted the selection. I am happy to give this firm a enthusiastic endorsement.
