Swimming PoolsDesignGuidance NoteConstruction and specification considerationsleakage does occur over the life of the pool tank orproblems identifying any leakage path for repair.The need to pay particular attention to the detailedconstruction and specification for swimming poolscan scarcely be overstated. The building mustwithstand a warm, humid and aggressive internalenvironment and external temperatures expectedin the winter season. This can be a highly technical,complicated and demanding subject, requiring theservices of specialist consultants. Key factorsinclude: Heavy wear and tear and possible abuseduring use Avoidance of interstitial and surfacecondensation that can lead to corrosion/rotand failure of various elements - particularlythose concealed within the structure Ease of maintenance to ensure a clean andhygienic environment that eliminates dust, dirtand water traps The creation of safe conditions for users.Structural movement joints in the pool tank shouldbe avoided where possible. Joints between thetank and the pool surround should also beminimised where possible. If joints are unavoidable,these must have an effective proprietary water barsystem suitable for their application.Pool surrounds should be designed to the samestandard as the pool tank, and provision made toprevent lateral water travel to other areas.Materials should beselected with regard totheir environmentalsustainability, while alsoensuring durability andlifecycle qualities: Recyclable content BRE green guide rating Environmental profile.The following notes are intended to illustrate therange of potential problem areas and point to theneed to ensure experienced professional expertiseis available in all areas of the project team and thatdue account is taken of current research andrecommendations.Other concrete pool construction forms includesprayed concrete (gunnite) and concreteblockwork permanent formwork filled withreinforced concrete. These forms are primarilyassociated with private and hotel pools, and thereare considerations in respect of their use in largerpools that will require very careful attention. Expertindependent advice should be sought beforeconsidering these forms of pool construction.Types of pool tank designThe pool tank and the pool surround need to bedesigned as water retaining structures with highlevels of insulation (insulation to the pool surroundwill only be required for thermal compliance) 1.There are two main construction techniques:The use of tanking membranes in the poolsurrounds, as an alternative to water retainingconcrete, should generally be avoided. However iftanking is unavoidable great care must be taken inthe selection, detailing and testing of the membrane.The risk of damage due to thermal shock when thepool is emptied or filled with water and heated is acritical issue. This must be taken into account andintegrated into the design, construction andoperation of the building as set out in Table 1 below.Concrete pool tanksThese would normally be constructed fromshuttered in situ reinforced concrete to BS 8007.They can be formed with or without a screed/render and normally have a ceramic tile finish.Waterproofing additives can be used to reduce therisk of leakage. The tank structure should bethoroughly tested for water tightness, through afull depth tank test, before finishes are applied.Any faults should be remedied before tiling orlining work is undertaken. Most repairs will bemore effective from the wet side.Pre-cast concrete panels should generally beavoided due to problems of guaranteeing watertightness at the joints. Permanent shuttering shouldalso be avoided due to risks of deterioration ifRate 2Max fill/empty rate0.03 m/hour (0.75 m/day)Max heating rate0.25 C/hour (6 C/day)Table 12 BS5385: Part 4: 2009 Wall and floor tiling – Part 4: Design andinstallation of ceramic and mosaic tiling in special conditions –Code of practice.1 Approved Document L requires a minimum U-value of 0.25W/m2/K where the pool tank is ground bearing.May Revision 004Activity1 Sport England 2013
Swimming PoolsDesignGuidance NoteStainless steel pool tanksIssues to be carefully considered as part of thesystem selection and design process include:Prefabricated sectional stainless steel tankstructures are becoming more common, althoughin the UK these are still an emergent market. Theyare supported on a concrete slab and are eithersite welded to form a complete tank structure orare bolted together. A welded reinforced plasticliner may also be used for the walls and/or floor ofthe tank. The need for independent structures for thesteel pool tank support framework and poolsurround retaining walls, allowing periodicchecks for potential leaks and degradation Selection of the support structure and panelmaterials and their fixings to avoid or minimisethe risk of corrosion Establishing that the pool system will last theintended design life of the building. A ‘cost inuse’ appraisal for the proposed life of thebuilding is recommended Provision of a watertight joint at the junctionbetween the steel tank and the pool surroundneeds careful consideration. The poolperimeter details are critical: a tanked poolsurround may be required, and the interface ofthe pool and surround needs careful detailingin order to avoid leakage. Where pool liners areused, the pool wall panel liner should be fullybonded to the metal panel Fixed pool equipment: The pool surroundsrequire a number of fixing points for temporaryequipment associated with the variouselements of the swimming progamme. Seepages 10-11 for details The length of manufacturer’s guarantees forthe polymer liner and the risk of mechanicaldamage.Tank under construction in stainless steel panels withan integrated overflow and raised endAdvantages of the stainless steel pool include: They are quicker to assemble and install (butwill require an extensive period for design andoff-site fabrication) Elimination of issues associated with aconventional concrete pool tank Finished quality and dimensional tolerances ofthe tank can be more closely controlled.May Revision 0042 Sport England 2013

Swimming PoolsDesignGuidance NotePool and pool surround drainage principleswith a slotted plastic grille. The following areimportant factors regarding finishes to a pool:BS EN 15288-1: 2008 requires the pool surroundto be designed to avoid contamination of the poolwater by water flowing on to the floor. Drainage ofthe pool surround areas should be independent ofthe deck level pool water recirculation drainagechannel. This can be achieved using twin channelson the pool surround incorporating either individualgrilles over two separate channels or a single grillespanning over an integral twin channel system.However, careful consideration of grille width andselection of a suitable specification is needed, inparticular to achieve the necessary slip resistance/ health and safety requirements. An appropriate surface treatment to concretepool tanks is required to provide a key forapplied finishes. This is usually achievedthrough mechanical keying of the concretesurface to expose the coarse aggregate Compatibility of the tiling specification with thetile adhesive and grouting Soft water, aggressive chemicals, rapidlymoving water or heavy wear may require tilingto receive epoxy based adhesives and/orgrouts in lieu of cementitious based onesFallHowever, for cost, application and programmereasons, the use of epoxy grouts should beminimised Waterproof membranes should generally notbe used between pool tiling and a concretepool structure, as these can be the cause ofsubsequent failure of the finishes if there is anyshocking of the tank during emptying orheating of the pool. The pool tank should bedesigned to be waterproof The noise of the circulating water continuouslyfalling into the deck level channel can bedistracting. In order to minimise the impact ofwater flow, the pool side of the deck levelchannel should be set at an angle so that thewater runs down the channel side face ratherthan tumbling into the channel.

Swimming PoolsDesignGuidance NoteStress relieving joints in the tiling must also becarefully considered. BS 5385 Part 4 recommendsstress relief joints at all changes of direction andevery 6 m where tile grout joints are less than 5 mmwide. However, for the purposes of good practicestress relief joints should be considered in any poolregardless of joint size.Points to consider: Permanent raised endshelp to prevent swimmersmisjudging the end of thepool and avoid the need forturning boards forcompetitionsThe selection of slip resistant tiles can be complexin the UK.
