YMCA Brookfield

Calgary, Canada

Knowing how to swim is an essential life skill, but the positive impact of water on the human experience can be much more far-ranging. Swimming can be a simple recreational activity, or useful for exercise. It helps to build self-esteem, and also develops new bonds and friendships.

 

This is the philosophy behind the design of the Brookfield YMCA in Calgary, a multi-purpose facility that has put swimming and other aquatic disciplines at the centre, choosing Myrtha Pools and its technologies as the perfect partner to achieve its goals of quality and growth.

 

The project focused on the construction of a pool over 50 metres long, equipped with Myrtha Track Start blocks along with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) inlets to optimise the circulation of the combined.

A true evolution in water recirculation systems, CFD is based on the Venturi effect. The introduction of controlled turbulence provides for the elimination of piping from the bottom, thus reducing the risk of system failure, and instead deploys inlets along the vertical sides of the pool. These are important details for Myrtha competition pools that eliminate any interference with swimmers during training and competition.
