Pan Am Pool

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. [cite web|url=http://www.where.ca/winnipeg/guide_listing~listing_id~4012.htm|title =Winnipeg Attractions |author = Where Canada |accessdate=2008-01-18] It is located in southwest Winnipeg and consists of three pools, two of them used for competitive swimming and one for diving. The pools are 25 yards (22.9m) wide. The facility also has a track and weight room. The diving tank is part of the main pool and has a depth of sixteen feet (4.9m). It consists of a pair of one-metre springboards, a pair of three-metre springboards, and one each of 3, 5, 7.5 and 10 metre platforms. For swimming competitions the main part of the pool can be adjusted for either long course (50m) or short course (25m) lengths by means of a movable bulkhead.

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.
