Roosevelt Swim Center – Outdoor Pool
Rapid City, SD
In 2012, the team of Fennell Design and Counsilman-Hunsaker provided options to the City of Rapid City, South Dakota, for the development of an outdoor pool at Roosevelt Park located on the south side of the Roosevelt Aquatic Center. In addition to the development of pool design concepts, financial analysis was also prepared which included projected construction costs, operating revenue and expense analysis, and projected attendance in an effort to provide a complete picture of what the facility would cost to build and operate.
In June 2014, the citizens of Rapid City celebrated the grand opening of the new all-deep, 50-meter pool designed to host competitive swimming events for the local swim teams and for community recreational use. The pool has 10 racing lanes and comes complete with a fiberglass moveable bulkhead capable of accommodating multiple racing and training configurations.
Although the pool will initially be outdoors, it was constructed for a covering or a facade to be built over it in future years.
