Mesquite ISD Aquatic Center

The City of Mesquite proudly unveiled the renovated Mesquite ISD Natatorium — a modern aquatics amenity born from a unique partnership between the Mesquite Independent School District, Dallas College and the City of Mesquite. Originally built in the 1970s as an outdoor recreational pool, the aging structure no longer met the needs of the growing community or its competitive swim programs. The renovated natatorium features a versatile competition pool serving students and the broader community alike. Using Myrtha Pools RenovAction technology, the refurbishment accomplished a brand-new, state-of-the-art pool, all while preserving the existing pool shell and saving on total construction costs. Now suitable for two courses, the pool features six 25-meter lanes, eight 25-yard lanes, diving boards and a shallow training area for skill-building. Serving Mesquite ISD swim teams, the natatorium also supports swim lessons, fitness and recreational programming. OpenAire’s transparent aluminum structure surrounding the space allows for year-round operations while opening to fresh air and sunlight during favorable weather. Honored with the 2024 ENR Texas & Louisiana Best Project Award in K-12 Education, the natatorium stands as a model of innovation, collaboration and community impact.
