Griffiths Trophy

The University of Saskatchewan’s first pool opened in 1916. Located in the basement of Qu'Appelle Hall, it was 18 feet wide, 45 feet long and around 8 feet deep with a spring board and changing rooms. Speed swimming, diving, water polo and recreational swimming soon became popular activities in the long Saskatchewan winters. When the Physical Education pool opened in October 1964, the residence pool was soon closed. A second campus pool facility was added in 1970 with the completion of the Education Building.
