Dive into silence: improving acoustics in indoor swimming pools

Indoor swimming pools are popular leisure destinations that naturally generate a considerable amount of noise.

Unfortunately, due to their unique characteristics, most swimming pools have inherently poor acoustics. With high ceilings and ample room length to accommodate the pool, reverberation times are significantly extended.

The moisture-laden air also means the use of tiles or concrete as the dominant surface finish. These hard reflective surfaces only further exacerbate reverberation, making it uncomfortable to be in and challenging for lifeguards and instructors to be clearly understood.

Thankfully this doesn’t have to be the norm. With a professionally designed acoustic solution, we can significantly reduce the reverberation time, improving speech intelligibility and creating a safe and tranquil environment for all.

Effective acoustic treatments for indoor pools

High humidity levels and a relatively chlorine rich environment makes choosing the correct acoustic panel and fixing method vitally important.

Non-hygroscopic acoustic panels

These panels do not absorb moisture over time, which helps prevent mould growth and ensures long-lasting performance.

Non-corroding fixing methods

Given the corrosive nature of pool environments, it’s essential to use approved fixing methods that can withstand these harsh conditions. The correct fixing method helps ensure the safety, longevity and effectiveness of the acoustic solution.
