Indoor/Outdoor Aquatic Center

My comment:

There is no true equivalent in U.S. English (in my opinion!). The Indoor/Outdoor portion is not an uncommon reference to deal with the "Kombi" part of the word; "Swim(ming)/Aquatic/Swim Pool Center" for "Bad".

'Combination' is literal and Germanic. Doesn't sound like something an English-speaker would say.
