Freedom Village Retirement Community | Therapeutic Pool Renovation by Wallover Architect

Home » Aquatics » Therapeutic Pool Design » Freedom Village Retirement Community

A Wellness-Centered Aquatic Environment for Active Adults

The Freedom Village Retirement Community, a leading senior living campus, partnered with Wallover Architects (WAi) to reimagine their underperforming indoor pool into a space that better served the needs of residents and wellness programming. The original pool’s floor slope was ill-suited for aquatic therapy and group fitness, which led to underuse and resident discomfort.

WAi’s solution? A completely redesigned, resident-focused therapeutic pool that balances physical comfort, architectural appeal, and long-term usability—delivering a fresh, serene, and supportive environment for exercise, rehabilitation, and leisure.

Therapeutic Pool Renovation for Wellness & Comfort

Designed for Accessibility & Comfort

As part of the renovation, the facility now features:

  • ADA-Compliant Access Upgrades
    Including a vertical platform chair lift to provide access from the facility to the pool deck, as well as a swim lift to ensure safe water entry for patrons with mobility limitations.

  • Dehumidification System
    An independent, state-of-the-art pool dehumidification system improves indoor air quality and enhances comfort for swimmers and spectators.

  • New Filtration System
    The outdated filtration system was replaced with a modern, high-efficiency system, delivering crystal-clear water and operational reliability.

Key Features of the Freedom Village Pool Renovation

  • Custom Floor Profile for Therapy Use
    The redesigned pool features a gentler slope and larger uniform-depth area to accommodate aquatic fitness classes, stretching routines, and rehab sessions safely and comfortably.

  • Pneumatically-Placed Concrete Construction
    This modern construction method ensures durability, smooth finish application, and long-term performance.

  • Enhanced Plaster Interior
    Provides a clean, inviting appearance with a comfortable surface underfoot—perfect for therapeutic applications.

  • Slip-Resistant Ceramic Tile Decking
    Large-format tiles offer safety and elegance, creating a spa-like ambiance with secure footing.

  • Upgraded Lighting & Architecture
    New wall and ceiling treatments, along with architectural lighting upgrades, brighten and modernize the formerly utilitarian natatorium space.

  • Resident-Approved Transformation
    The pool renovation has led to increased usage by residents and enthusiastic praise for its comfort, accessibility, and ambiance.
