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.
