Corinthian Yacht Club

Pool Intro

The pool first opened in 1937. It was constructed through member donations, and equipped with a salt water intake system. The 25-yard long pool became one of the busiest facilities in the Club. Originally, the pool was, tide permitting, emptied on Sunday afternoons, scrubbed and refilled. After World War II, the addition of a filtration system made regular weekly water changes unnecessary. A modern stainless steel filtration system was installed in 1970 and in 1974, a heater was added. Gradual corrosion caused the eventual breakdown of the salt-water pump system, and a fresh water pump was finally introduced in 1975.

Now over 70 years old, the pool, with its modified gutter system, is considered one of the fastest competitive facilities in the North Shore Swim League. It remains one of the busiest facilities at the Club.
