OUTDOOR FAMILY AQUATIC CENTER

De Soto, Kansas

When the City of De Soto, Kansas opened its Family Aquatic Center it was an instant hit.  The new aquatics center has embraced all age groups in the community.  Whether your interest is water aerobics, competitive swimming or swirling around in a vortex pool, there is something for everybody.

Great care was taken to develop a layout that would take advantage of the aesthetic view of the site.  During design, ease of operation and inclusion of multi-generational amenities were the goals.  The plan reflected lots of detail and the design of the mechanical systems ensured that the facility was easy to operate and maintain.  Winterization of this pool is as simple as opening a few valves to drain the entire system.
