CASE STUDY Since the inception of indoor aquatic parks, metals such as stainless steel alloys, carbon steel, iron, copper, bronze and aluminum have been commonly prescribed materials with regards to indoor pools and enclosures. Corrosion issues related to building materials have challenged aquatic operators and building architects, especially in the past decade as facilities have expanded with complicated and exposed interactive surface areas, sprays, slides and warmer water. Today, proper ventilation and chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking typically rank high with those involved in design and refurbishment of new and existing structures. Nontraditional materials such as fiber reinforced polymers have begun to gain prominence within the aquatics industry, as managers hav
