At least 22° high, (This depends on the location of
pool,)

Ample day light and sunlight, Proper - acoustics, In-
stall public address system for instructor to teach
classes as well as to announce speed contests and
acquatic festivals,
Face the walls to a height of 5' or 6" with tile like
that used on the runways or with glazed or vitreous
prick (white biscuit tile will craze and white ceramic
tile may discolor from body contacts), Above that
level, hard faced brick, glazed or acoustic tile,
cinder block and Haydite block have all been used,

For the ceiling Guastavino acoustic tile is probably
the best but rather expensive,

Metal doors preferably of the flush or unpannelled

73 degrees to 75 degrees F, dry bulb and the water

temperature 68 to 70 degrees F, Water should be
