Fort Eustis- O-D -Fort Eustis -I im 'Z JF i' i' THE SVVIMMQING POOL' Among the additional facilities prepared for the CMT Camp at Fort Eustis during the training season of 1926 was a concrete swimming pool 120 feet long by 50 feet wide, ranging in depth from 4 to 10 feet. The pool is situated in a depression in the vicinity of the Club House of the post and only a few hundred yards from the barracks occupied by the students. It is surrounded by a 10 foot walk and below it is a shower bath room for the use of the swimmers immediately before entering the water. Electric lights have been installed over the pool so that it can be used after sundown. A diving board has been installed at the deep end in addition to a diving platform which is 8 feet above the water level. The water is furnished from the post water system which is sterile in itself and treated frequently for sanitation purposes. In addition to this the pool is entirely emptied period- ically and Hushed out. ' Wliile it was planned early in the year to install the pool for this year's training season, it was not until June 3 that an actual start on the work was made due to the fact that the necessary facilities had not been at hand prior to that date. From that date on the work was rushed, construction taking place even at night. The tank was actually available for swimming purposes by July 15, seven days after the arrival of the CNITC candidates. It was not officially opened until July 22 to permit installation of a shower room. All of the work in connection with the construction of the pool was planned under the supervision of the Assistant Quartermaster in charge of Utilities. On July 28 the CMTC Aquatic lV1eet was held in the pool with Company ' C B ' , winning the most points.
