For
years, swimmers on the 8 Wing Trenton base had to
make do with a pre-WWII pool facility affectionately
known as “the dungeon”. As a result of the Department
of National Defence’s commitment to enhance the quality
of life for defence personnel and their families.
Reinders + Rieder Ltd. was retained
to design and build a new pool and recreation building
for the
8 Wing Trenton community.
The bright, spacious building houses two pools: an
8 lane, 25m fast lap pool, and a combination wading/
handicap access/ warm up pool that is also used as
a play area for parents and their young children.
The pool is used for general recreational use, aquatics
programmes, competitive swimming and scuba instruction.
