In August 2021, SHP completed a $5.5M renovation to St. Xavier High School’s Keating Natatorium, including upgrades to locker rooms, the swimmers’ lounge, the main lobby, pool equipment spaces, the concession area and seating for 1,000 spectators, among other improvements. The pool itself received a new pool deck, replacement of the original filtration and air handling systems, and pool liner.

"St. X is home to the 41-time state champion Aqua Bombers, so we knew we had to make it special. We wanted to give them a product that would reflect the incredible success the swimming and diving teams have had, and with that, we gave them the premiere natatorium in the area."
