Natatoria are often programmed as part of Rec centers. Like gymnasiums, natatoria may be of many different sizes, but they require large clear-span structures.

[…] These unique features make it very unlikely that an existing building can be transformed into a natatorium for less cost than building new. If the other desired program elements can be adequately developed within existing space, the natatorium piece might be a sensible addition or future phase.
