This swimming pool constitutes part of a recreation centre at Hershey, Pennsylvania, and has the special feature that its roof is movable, so that the pool can be open in summer and enclosed in winter. The roof consists of two semicircular sectors, resting on wheels, which run along a circular rail. The structure of this roof is metallic, made of radial trusses, converging at a central pivot, around which the sectors rotate. Both the enclosing walls, and the roofing units are filled in with foamglass blocks, which are light, waterproof and highly insulating. Their more significant characteristics are a strength of 7 kg/cm2 and 144 kg/m3 weight, as well as their small water and heat transmission capacity.
