GETTING YOUR PUBLIC POOL FACILITY RIGHT
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE DELIVERY OF PUBLIC SWIMMING POOLS
Communities contemplating or starting on a public swimming pool project face a wide range of questions.
This white paper from the IAKS Pool Expert Circle offers advice for successful decision making.
Highly complex project – and often unknown territory Public swimming pool facilities are a cornerstone of local community infrastructure. They provide affordable opportunities to learn life skills, exercise and socialise, all of which contribute to supporting healthy communities. At the same time, they are deceptively challenging to build and operate. Often those responsible for delivering these projects, such as municipal staff and decision-makers, are facing the challenge of a new-build or renovated pool project for the first time in their careers. As pool facilities are highly specialised and complicated projects, it is important to have the right experience and expertise available from the very beginning.

2023 IAKS TRENDS REPORT
Design trends in sports and leisure facilities are continually evolving to meet the changing needs and preferences of users while addressing emerging challenges. As the world‘s leading association for these facilities, the IAKS aims to provide an overview of recent developments and industry trends.
We have asked IAKS board members, members of our Expert Circles, as well as board members from our national IAKS sections for their observations.
This trend report summarizes their feedback, starting with the most frequently mentioned topic of „environmental sustainability“ in the areas of „construction“ and „operation“. Other topics - ranked by the number of mentions - include „social sustainability“, „health“, „planning“, „outdoor physical activity“, „economic sustainability“, and „digitalisation.
“While it is impossible to capture the full range of factors involved in current approaches to sports and leisure facility design and operation, we hope you find this summary of trends received from our world-wide network helpful as you consider the future of your facilities.
