INTRODUCTION
a) OLYMPIC POOL –
Olympic pool
b) SEMI OLYMPIC POOL
• Semi-Olympic pools, also called short pools, are half the length of Olympic
pools and comply with FINA's minimum dimensions and requirements forth 25-
meter competition use.
• These pools must be 25 meters long, this pool length (minimum distance
between the inner front sides of the pool) must be long enough so that the
distance of 25 meters between the two nearest faces of the two panels is ensured
when timing touch panels are used at the extreme starting walls or at the turns
with starting platforms must be at least 1.80 meters and the distance from the
Pool must have a minimum depth of 1.80 meters.
• The water depth of pools wall boundary must be 0 to 6 meters.
• The end walls must be vertical, parallel and form right 90 degree angles with the
swimming lane and with the surface of the water.
• The lane must be at least 2.5 meters wide, with 8 or 10 lanes in 25-metersemi-
Olympic pools.
• The space between the wall and the floating line of the first lane and the last
lane and the wall must be 0.20 meters. This distance must be kept to reduce or
mitigate the ripple effect on the swimmer. These are the main FINA
requirements for building a semi-Olympic pool
c) LEISURE POOL
Leisure pool
d) INFINITE POOL
• An infinity pool is also called an infinity edge pool or a zero edge pool.
• It is a reflecting or swimming pool where the water flows over one or more
edges, producing a visual effect of water with no boundary Such pools are often
designed so that the edge appears to merge with a larger body of water such as
the ocean, or with the sky, and may overlook locations such as natural landscapes
and cityscapes.
• They are often seen at hotels, resorts, estates, and in other luxurious places
• Infinity pools are expensive and require extensive structural, mechanical, and
architectural detailing. Since they are often built in precarious locations, sound
structural engineering is paramount.
• The high cost of these pools often arises from the elaborate foundation systems
that anchor them to hillsides
• The "infinite" edge of the pool terminates at a weir that is to % inch (2 to 6 mm)
lower than the required pool water level. A trough or catch basin is constructed
below the weir. The water spills into the catch basin, from where it is pumped
back into the pool

2. FILTRATION –
There are different filtration systems, such as:
▪ Diatomaceous Earth (DE) - This uses mined fossilized exoskeletons of tiny
diatoms to act as tiny sieves to remove debris. They are capable of filtering
particles as small as 5 microns, although they are the most expensive option and
require more maintenance.
▪ SAND - Water is pushed through a bed of filter sand and removed at the
bottom through a set of lateral tubes. As the filter sand becomes plugged with
debris from the pool, the pressure increases on the filter and the water flow
drops, at which point the sand needs to be replaced
Overflow channel
▪ SKIMMER UNIT - Pool skimmer are filters that
capture floating debris before it can sink to the bottom
of the pool. Most skimmers on in-ground pools are
built into its upper sides, where the suction draws
debris and traps it. Most pool skimmers are accessed
via the pool deck area through a trap door or hatch
▪ BALANCING TANK - Balance tanks are designed to ensure that the water in the
pool remains at the correct level. In pools with a deck-level surface water drainage
system, a balance tank is essential. This is because in a deck-level pool, the pool
water is constantly overflowing at the surface into the drainage channel
ACCESSERIES -
LADDER-All pools whether public or private shall be provided
with a ladder or steps in the shallow end where water depth
exceeds 24 inches (610 mm). In private pools where water depth
exceeds 5 feet (1524 mm) there shall be ladders, stairs or
underwater benches/swim-outs in the deep end
2. Underwater Lighting -
:Where underwater lighting is to be used in a swimming
pool or water theme facility, the total lamp lumens shall
be not less than:
(a) 650 multiplied by the area in square meters of the
water surface for an outdoor swimming pool or water
theme facility; or,
(b) 1100 multiplied by the area in square meters of the
water surface for an indoor swimming pool or water
theme facility
3. Pool Area Lighting
An indoor pool or an outdoor pool where night swimming is permitted shall
a) Where underwater lighting complying to section 2 is used, provide area lighting
designed to ensure a minimum of 215 lux at the deck level for all the deck areas that
is directed towards the deck areas and away from the pool surface; or,
b) Where underwater lighting complying to section 2 is not used, provide area lighting
designed to ensure a minimum of 215 lux at the deck level for all the deck areas and
at the pool water surface
▪ A basement or cellar is one or more floors of a building that are completely or partly
below the ground floor.
▪ It generally is used as a utility space for a building, where such items as the boiler,
water heater, breaker panel or fuse box, car park, and air-conditioning system are
located: so also are amenities such as the electrical distribution system and cable
television distribution point.
▪ In cities with high property prices, such as Mumbai, basements are often fitted out
to a high standard and used as living space. In British English, the word basement is
used for underground floors of, for example, department stores, but the word is used
only with houses when the space below the ground floor is habitable, with windows
and (usually) its own access.
▪ The word cellar applies to the whole underground level or to any large underground
room. A subcellar is a cellar that lies further underneath.
