The facility includes an indoor six lane 25-meter competitive swimming pool, three racquetball courts, multi-court gymnasium, weight room, aerobic areas, special class and function rooms, an elevated running track, and a juice bar. Additionally, the locker rooms include steam rooms and saunas. Special systems include HVAC with a dehumidification air handling unit for the indoor swimming pool with corrosion resistant ductwork.
