The initial excavation
for this facility was done in 1973. However,
budget limitations delayed its completion until 1978.
Overlooking the Agua Fria River valley and cradled in
the basalt cliff, it provides a dramatic setting for
summer
swimming. The pool is 25 meters long, and is located
above the site of the first section of greenhouses to
be built,
as part of the solar heat and food production resources
at Arcosanti.
