E-Town Swim & Fitness Center Natatorium – Year-Round Pool Enclosure in Elizabethtown, KY by Wallover Architects

Extending the Swim Season with a Functional, Cost-Effective Pool Enclosure

The E-Town Swim & Fitness Center in Elizabethtown, KY sought to expand its aquatic offerings and allow for year-round swim training, fitness, and competition. Home to the Elizabethtown Dolphins Swim Team, the facility already featured a 75-yard and 25-yard competition pool, as well as diving platforms—but lacked winter accessibility.

To meet this need, Wallover Architects was engaged to design a new natatorium enclosure over the existing 25-yard pool. This pool enclosure was conceived as a cost-effective, durable solution that would seamlessly blend with the existing facility and enhance the center’s programming potential.

A Seamless Architectural Addition for Competitive & Recreational Use

The pool enclosure was designed using a combination of prefabricated metal building components and conventional construction, allowing for budget-conscious implementation without sacrificing quality or aesthetics. Careful architectural planning ensured the new natatorium appears fully integrated with the original fitness center, maintaining visual cohesion and operational flow.

Project Highlights

25-Yard Pool Enclosure – Converts an outdoor lap pool into a year-round amenity for fitness and swim team use
Cost-Effective Design – Utilizes prefabricated building systems for efficiency and budget-conscious construction
Competitive Functionality – Supports the Elizabethtown Dolphins Swim Team with expanded seasonal access
Architectural Integration – New construction blends with the existing facility to preserve a unified appearance
Increased Member Value – Offers winter swim access for members focused on fitness, wellness, and aquatic training

A Smart Investment in Year-Round Aquatic Access

Completed in 2012, the E-Town Swim & Fitness Center Natatorium stands as an example of how thoughtful design and strategic material selection can extend the life and function of an existing aquatic facility. With its newly enclosed pool, the center now offers year-round training opportunities, greater member satisfaction, and increased programming flexibility—making it a valuable community resource for both recreational users and competitive swimmers.
