I saw an elegant solution to this at the Hotel Niko pool in San Francisco. They have slatted wood flooring that allows water to drain through. Looked almost teak-ish. However with anything that drains you will have to properly prepare the sub-floor to prevent standing water and the subsequent unpleasantness that can bring.

A lot of facilities would put a carpet or porous rubber but that has sanitary issues.

A slotted shower type mat will still get wet and the bottom of peoples bags will still get wet.

You might be smarter to call back the ceramic tile installer and have them fix it. Or do perhaps a hospital grade shower system like a taradouche that can be installed to properly drain from the outset.]]> Fri, 27 May 2011 11:41:09 GMT http://www.athleticbusiness.com/forum/topic173-.aspx Message from Andrew AKnudson wrote:
Good point. And a squeegee is probably a lot cheaper!
Maybe I could get some really big air dryers like you see at the car wash to just force people to dry off in designated areas!!! (Totally kidding, of course).
Again, thanks to you both for the responses. It helps!!!


You may already have the equivalent of car-wash dryers...I'm sure every facility operator is already familiar with the way electric hand dryers are used by some patrons. There were several players at Nielsen Tennis Center here in Madison where I played squash who would aim two hand dryers toward each other, hit the "on" button on both and then stand naked between them, in front of the sinks. Whaaaaa?]]> Thu, 26 May 2011 15:43:58 GMT http://www.athleticbusiness.com/forum/topic173-.aspx Message from AKnudson Maybe I could get some really big air dryers like you see at the car wash to just force people to dry off in designated areas!!!
