Eanes ISD Athletics Center

Austin, Texas
Construction Cost: $9.5 million
Area / Square Feet: 20,000
Occupancy Date: March 2022

The Eanes ISD aquatic center — located on the existing Westlake High School campus — was built with funds from the district’s 2019 bond program, finalizing a decades-long push for a school district pool.

The aquatic center was one of many new additions to Eanes ISD, including a new gymnasium and a robotics laboratory and workshop. The renovations will provide competition and practice venues to support swimmers and wrestlers, as well as space for more technical creativity.

The new facility provides a training space for Eanes swimming and diving athletes and allows the district to host various levels of aquatic competition. The center features a 36-meter competition pool with a moveable bulkhead to accommodate water polo matches and trainingswim training, diving and meets. The moveable bulkhead allows for more flexible programming and multiple user groups to utilize the space simultaneously.

The pool is constructed with Myrtha stainless steel and PVC construction technology and features an integrated electronic timing system. It also features a shallow area on one side of the bulkhead, allowing dedicated space for learn-to-swim, fitness/wellness activities, and additional warm-up space during meets. It will be used by the Westlake High School swimming and diving programs, with a possible middle school expansion swim program, potential water polo and other district swim activities. Other intended uses will include community pool time, swim lessons and swim club rentals.
