Swakopmund

Posted in Articles.

Swakopmund, SWA (Namibia)

In 1971, the mayor of Swakopmund, then, H.M.G. Deetlefs, was instrumental in getting the Administration to finance the construction of the Olympic-size swimming pool.

Through the Treaty of Versailles 1920, South Africa was under obligation to "develop Swakopmund as a modern holiday resort".

In March 1982, the South Africa Amateur Swimming Union took a team of swimmers from South Africa, Germany, Canada and the USA to compete in this pool.

The old municipal indoor and heated Olympic-sized swimming pool in Swakopmund was closed for good in March 2010. It appears to have been demolished in 2014.
