The SVPA design team challenge was to create one facility that met the needs of four different user groups that had joined together to fund a new wellness center for the City of Indianola: the residents of Indianola, the Indianola School District, Simpson College and the YMCA of Greater Des Moines, which is operating the facility. Not only was the facility to meet the wellness needs of these groups, but it was also to provide a competition venue for community, high school, and college swim teams.
