Pan Am Pool

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pan Am Pool is an indoor swimming facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada built for the Pan Am Games in 1967. It is one of the largest indoor bodies of water in the world.[1] It is located in southwest Winnipeg and consists of three pools, two of them used for competitive swimming and diving. The facility also has a track and weight room.

For many years, the pool hosted the Aquatic Hall of Fame and Museum of Canada. Also located on the campus of the pool is Winnipeg's specialized Pan Am Clinic, a surgical unit specializing in sports injuries since 1979.

The Pan Am Pool has hosted the Pan Am Games twice in 1967 and 1999.
