The state of Alaska, which provides for swimming pools as an eligible project cost in projects approved for state aid, presents guidelines to assist school districts in planning swimming pools, and provides standards for swimming pool size based on the planned educational program and student population. The guidelines are intended to assist school districts in determining what portion of a swimming pool's space is eligible for state funding as determined by the Commissioner, and the factors in determining pool size. Included with the pool size recommendations are a chart summarizing standard pool sizes, the method for determining allowable pool size and a worksheet, and a conceptual layout of a swimming facility.
