On the day we went to check it out, there was actually a table tennis tournament going on:
The building is 147,000 sq. feet which basically means it has room for one Olympic-length 10-lane swimming pool and a triple gymnasium.
It’s a fairly simple design, pool on one side, with the gyms on the other. Once inside, hang a right if you want to go swimming, take a left for the gyms. The main floor is for access to changing facilities, while going up the stairs leads you to the spectating level. In both cases there is a shared hallway dividing the pool-side from the gym-side with easy access between them.
