History

The original Colegio pool Piscina Alumni (the "Alumni Pool") was located in the same site; it was demolished to make way for the new one. It was named for CAAM Alumni who provided funding for its construction. The Piscina Alumni was designed by Henry Klumb and it was inaugurated in 1966.^[3]

The new complex was designed by the local firm Fuster + Partners – Architects.^[4] The new natatorium cost $34 millions, witch was paid by the "Autoridad para el Financiamiento de Infraestructura (AFI)".^[2] The pool will be used for the Swimming Events such as swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, and water polo at the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games, and afterward they will pass to the University.^[1][2]

This pool served as the main venue for the 2011 CCCAN.
