2 History of
Pools in Visalia
The first public pool
constructed in Visalia was the
Natatorium, built in 1896 near
the northeast corner of Main
and Santa Fe (known as East
Street in those days). It was
85 feet long, 30 feet wide and
was fed with water from the
city’s adjacent Water Works
Plant. It included two
springboard and a suspended
trapeze from the rafters.
3 History of
Pools in Visalia
Visalia’s second pool, called the Plunge,
was constructed in 1939 and was located
on the southeast corner of Acequia and
Bridge, near the Convention Center.
Next came Recreation Park built in 1950s
and demolished in 1986, Mt. Whitney
pool built in 1958 and remodeled in
2000, Redwood pool built in 1987,
Golden West built 1985 (warm-up pool
for the 1984 Olympics) and remodeled in
1990, and finally, El Diamonte built in
2007.
4 Pool Usage
According to a report prepared by
the Recreation Department,
approximately 5,400 persons used
the Visalia pools in 2017.
Activities ranged from swim teams
to swim lessons and water safety
classes to water aerobics.

5 Proposed pool complex – competition pool (50
meters by 25 yards) and zero-entry splash pool
6 Competition pool - 20 swim lanes and shallow
section for water aerobics, swim lessons, and handicapped persons
7 Zero-entry splash pool which is designed for young
children, swim lessons and handicapped children
8 Entering the pool complex visitors will view the
Aquatic Hall of Fame wall and the Records wall.

12 Here is some
specific
reasons why
Visalia could
use its own
aquatic
complex.
• Growing Demand for Pool Time
• Longer School Year/Less Pool Time for
City
• COS No Longer Available for General Use
• General community use for pool time is
increasing including uses such as public
swimming, swim lessons, water safety
classes, competitive swimming and water
polo, masters swimming, special Olympics,
triathlons, diving competitions, senior
Olympics and water aerobics

17 •Should any of Visalia’s
pools “go down” it
always becomes a
significant burden on
the school whose pool
is down and the school
that needs to “share”
their pool.
•Redundancy has its
benefits!
18 • The City of Visalia realizes that
its economic future is somewhat
tied to attracting people to
athletic and recreational events
from outside of Visalia. These
“folks” generate sales and bed
taxes for the city.
• Recent successful events that
have attracted folks from outside
the City include Visalia’s Senior
Games, End of the Trail half-
marathon, local soccer
tournaments, and Cal Ripken
Baseball World Series.
19 Could an
Aquatic
Facility
bring
people to
Visalia?
• Here are some events that could be
attracted to Visalia’s new Aquatic
Facility.
• Masters Swim Meets
• Age-Group Swim Meets
• State championship swim meets –
high school and junior college
• Water polo tournaments – high
school, Masters and junior college
• Triathlons
20 How do
you
finance
an
aquatic
facility?
• A combination of funding sources
works best. These include:
• City park and recreation impact
fees
• Financial participation with
school district (and maybe CVC
and/or COS)
• Community donations - $500,000
from planned fund-raising
• Naming–rights – California Water
Service ($500,000 over 10 years)
• Land sales – proceeds from sale
of city-owned acreage at Riggin
and Akers
• Grants – handicapped,
disadvantaged youth, senior
21 How do you
finance the
daily
maintenance,
staffing and
upkeep of an
aquatic
facility?
• A combination of funding sources works
best. These include:
• Entrance fees from public swim days.
• Rental fees from swim, water polo and
diving teams
• Rental revenue from large aquatic
events – swim meets, triathlons and
parties.
• $1.00 surcharge on all participants to
create endowment for maintenance
and capital replacement.
22 Conclusions
Quality of Life means
different things to different
people. The health, safety
and recreational
opportunities for Visalia’s
young and old certainly
adds to Visalia’s Quality of
Life.
