OUTDOOR FAMILY AQUATIC CENTER

Keokuk, Iowa

Although Keokuk’s swimming pool has served them well for many years, every year it became more expensive to repair and operate, and less desirable to the community. The existing pool was originally designed by Kenneth Larkin. Now 40 years later, the life of the pool was limited, with each year bringing increased maintenance costs. Because of the steady physical decline of the pool and the decreasing use by residents, Keokuk decided it was time for a replacement and hired Larkin Aquatics to assist them in making their dreams a reality again.
