Verdun Natatorium approximately $11,000 each year from 1946 to 1951. By 1951, the Natatorium had never lost money and was projected to fully pay off its loan in ten more years. The city of Montreal states that the main pool can accommodate 1,150 bathers while the "Montreal Gazette", in 1951, reported that the pool could handle up to 6,000 swimmers on a daily basis. The discrepancy may be due to changes to the facility and/or safety regulations, over time. In the summer 2005, a heated wading pool was added, with a capacity of up to 250 children.

Flushing Meadows Natatorium the Space Age. The New York State Pavilion, designed by Philip Johnson and Richard Foster, is one of the few structures still standing in Flushing Meadows Park. The oval roof, suspended and cable-hung, was the largest in the world. The pavilion was praised for its suspended roof and two towers that stood as the tallest structures of the fair. This large tent-like structure may have been an influence on the current Flushing Meadows Natatorium. Today, all these structures are either demolished or left in an uninhabitable, dilapidated state. Envisioned in 1999 by Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Borough President Claire Shulman
