One of the most interesting pools in which I’ve had the opportunity to compete, is the Keating Aquatic Center natatorium at the University of Cincinnati Campus Recreation Center. The building was completed and opened in early 2006. The Campus Recreation Center, including the natatorium, were designed by KZF Design, Inc., working with internationally renowned architect Thom Mayne of Morphosis, based out of Santa Monica, Calif.

The interior of the pool has an intimidating, angular feel–with sharp contours imposing from the ceiling and walls. The slanted ceiling makes diving spots and backstroke especially interesting. The pool itself is exceptionally well-made and adequate for competition. Overall this unconventional pool design works, and fits well with the collection of award-winning architecture found on campus at the University of Cincinnati.
