Reinforced Concrete
When the architecture leads.
- Any geometry you can commission
- Custom diving wells & grandstands
- Renovation flexibility for decades
Fast water, built to spec.
Certified lanes for schools, universities, and municipalities. Reinforced concrete or Myrtha stainless modular, engineered to World Aquatics dimensions.
Precision is the product.
Competition pools demand precision far beyond ordinary commercial construction: exact dimensional tolerances, advanced circulation, and compliance with recognized competition standards. Every detail affects athlete performance, and whether a time counts.
One commercial team carries engineering, construction, and project management under a single design build contract, coordinated with your architects, coaches, and aquatic consultants.
- High school venues
- University aquatic centers
- Municipal & rec centers
- Swim club facilities
- Diving & warm-up pools
- Therapy & training pools

FAQs
Straight answers for athletic directors, boards, and facility planners.
Which governing standards do you build to?
World Aquatics, USA Swimming, NCAA, NFHS, or a combination, depending on who sanctions the meets you plan to host. The governing body is the first design decision, because it sets lane count, lane width, depth, and course length before anything is drawn.
How precise does the course length really have to be?
Wall to wall length carries a tolerance measured in millimetres, and a time swum in a pool that misses it cannot be certified. That tolerance drives everything from wall construction to touchpad allowances, and it is a major reason many venues choose Myrtha stainless steel modular construction.
Concrete or Myrtha, which is right for our facility?
Concrete gives maximum design freedom: custom diving wells, integrated grandstands, and unusual footprints. Myrtha delivers exceptional dimensional precision, faster installation, and lower long term maintenance. We build both, and we will recommend the one your program, schedule, and budget actually call for.
Can one pool serve competition and community programs?
Yes, and most should. A moveable bulkhead turns a long course tank into short course racing with warm up water behind it, and depth planning can support learn to swim, water polo, and fitness programming in the same basin. Future flexibility is one of the five things we evaluate in every design.
Do you handle timing systems, scoreboards, and the rest of the deck?
We rough in conduit, deck boxes, and power for touchpads and scoreboards before concrete is placed, and we anchor starting blocks and backstroke flag standards into structure. Grandstands, locker rooms, and spectator circulation are coordinated with your architects as part of design build.
Can you renovate an existing competition venue?
Yes. Resurfacing, gutter and lane line replacement, timing and control upgrades, and bringing an older tank back within tolerance all run through the commercial team. See commercial resurfacing and remodels for how a renovation on an operating facility is planned.
