Location: South Lake Tahoe, CA

Application: Aquatics Dome

Size: 75’ W x 125’ L (9,375 sq. ft.)

Features:

• Temperature-controlled indoor pool
• Designed for seasonal installation/dismantles
• Translucent fabric for a ‘bright’ interior that utilizes natural lighting

Challenge:

• Attach a climate-controlled air supported dome to the City of South Lake Tahoe’s existing swimming pool structure during winter.
• The dome should be cost effective to operate, energy efficient and should take advantage of natural light.

Solution:

• Arizon provided an air supported fabric dome that fits seamlessly to the city’s existing pool structure, installed by Arizon in the fall and dismantled each spring.
• The fabric used is PVDF-coated translucent fabric that stays clean, enables snow to slide off of the structure during occasional winter snowfall and permits natural light into the dome during daytime hours.

Result:

• The City of South Lake Tahoe can provide year round swimming facilities to the community.
• This enables organizations to extend their swim programs, practices and lessons into the winter.
• The seasonality of the dome makes year-round use of the city’s outdoor pool, which would otherwise be dormant from October through May possible.
