Abstract Recently, according to increase the desire for the life physical training, many local governments are constructing the swimming pool. As the space for improvement of physical strength of the local residences, the fostering of sport player and the game-watching, and due to its property, such indoor swimming pool is emphasizing the sensedelivery through its fostering and the clearness of sound, also it is requiring the repletion or abundance of sound, too. However, in the most of them, since it occurs an excessive echo condition by use of the reflexible finishing material due to its characteristics of hydrophile property space, it is very difficult situation when conduct swimming education and the progression of the game. On such point of view, for the object of newly built indoor swimming pool, after conduct the computer simulation, by practise the psycho-acoustics experiment on the designing stage where able to experience virtual acoustic field using auralizational technique, this study has attempted to evaluate the acoustic condition at the construction completion, and as the result of comparison with the improvement level about the acoustic performance of the subject indoor swimming pool, it was known that the acoustic performance was greatly improved since the evaluation item was appraised as the high grade due to decrease the excessive reverberation. Accordingly. if the subject indoor swimming pool can be remodelled in accordance with such acoustic design, it is judged that can be an excellent indoor swimming pool, securing a sufficient sound sense, reverberation feeling and diffusion of sound, and also it is considering that such study result could be utilized as the fundamental material when construction a similar type of indoor swimming pool in the future, that expectable the reduction effect on construction cost and improvement of the acoustic performance by predict · control the acoustic problem from its planning stage.
