Swarthmore College - needed a swimming pool for its women's swimming team. At the time U.S. athletics was moving toward the metric system but with uncertainty. We designed a pool which measured 25 yards by 25 meters allowing 10 lanes in the 25 yard direction and a fully flexible pool. Diving was included within the pool. This simple square building (130' x 130') solved the problems of the college and has been a prototype for several future pools until the U.S. system of measurements was perpetuated in "feet and inches".
