Upper St. Clair High School Natatorium – Dual-Pool Design for Championship Competition & Community Use

Home » Aquatics » Competition Pools » Upper St. Clair High School Natatorium

A Model of Modern High School Aquatic Design

The Upper St. Clair High School Natatorium is a premier example of how thoughtful aquatic design can support both elite competition and inclusive community programming. Developed by Wallover Architects, Inc. (WAi) as Aquatic Design Architect in collaboration with McLean Architects as Architects of Record, this facility includes two distinct pool vessels—an 8-lane competition pool and a separate 4-lane diving and warm-up pool—each optimized for performance, accessibility, and functionality.

These pools were constructed using Myrtha USA technology, ensuring superior water quality, low maintenance needs, and long-term structural durability. Advanced Paddock Evacuator® source capture systems significantly reduce chloramines and enhance air quality, creating a safer and more pleasant natatorium environment for athletes, coaches, and spectators alike.

Dual-Pool Design for Championship Competition & Community Use

Built for Student-Athletes and the Entire Community

Upper St. Clair School District envisioned a natatorium that went beyond the bounds of athletics alone. By including an ADA-compliant access ramp in the diving and warm-up pool, the facility supports inclusive programming, therapeutic use, and teaching, making it a true community resource.

The dual-pool design ensures that multiple activities can occur simultaneously—whether it’s a water polo tournament in the main pool or a swim lesson in the adjacent warm-up vessel. This separation of function increases scheduling flexibility and enhances the overall user experience.
