For swim school owners and operators considering building their own pool, the design and planning stage is where the most consequential decisions are made — and where the most costly mistakes occur. Getting the design right from the outset determines not just how well your pool works technically, but how efficiently it can be run, how much it costs to operate, and how well it supports your teaching programme and business model.
Presented by Martyn Hardy, an experienced swim school pool consultant with deep practical knowledge of what makes a learn-to-swim facility succeed or fail, this course provides a comprehensive, practical guide to swim school pool design. It covers site location assessment, pool sizing and water depth considerations for swim teaching, construction materials and their long-term implications, key infrastructure decisions, and the real-world costs involved at each stage — illustrated with examples drawn from actual swim school pool projects.
