Aquatics Center 2801 Gattis School Rd. Round Rock, TX 

Come and tour the TEMA 2023- Project of the Year. Technical information presented by RRISD technician Ronnie Sethman. 

The Round Rock ISD Aquatic Center is a UIL competition level aquatic facility.  The new facility is made up of one primary pool with supporting facilities and amenities. The district has plans for a smaller secondary warm up pool in the future.  The primary waterbody includes a 50m swim competition pool that provides enough space for three teams to practice crossways simultaneously.  It included two bulkheads and provides 1m spring board diving. 

The building and pool systems are designed to be extremely energy efficient by incorporating a CHP system that is a prototype for the district’s efforts in optimizing energy performance.  The CHP system will generate electricity for the facility and capture the combustion heat for efficiently warming the pool.

The pool will be heated to meet water temperatures standards for competitive swimming between 77⁰ to 82⁰F.  Warmer water is less dense and therefore has less friction on swimmers as they move through it.  Standard water temperatures ensure that all performances are on a level state of conditions.
