Underwater Painting
Lane Lines:
Many pools feature lines on the bottom, in the center of each swim lane. These lines act as guides to help athletes stay straight while swimming. The lines are painted in a dark color; often black, to stand out. Near the end of the pool, the lines form a t-shape to alert the swimmer that they are nearing the end. In addition, pools often have similar dark lines with a t-shape on the end walls as well, further alerting swimmers that they are reaching the end of the pool.
Over time, due to chemical interaction, the lane line colors fade away. To maintain the visual appeal and cleanliness of your swimming pool, routine maintenance is required. Beyond adding chemicals to keep the water safe to swim in, pool managers must maintain the finish coating to ensure the pool’s integrity.
Correctly painting swimming pools is not as easy as one might think. The existing coating must be evaluated to ensure compatibility with the new paint to be applied. Proper surface preparation is vital to ensure adhesion. The applied paint must be adequate to handle immersion and chemical resistance. The coating must have adequate cure days. These are just some of the concerns involved with a successful pool painting project.
