Does anyone have pictures from this pool from the 1994 Commonwealth Games?? The 2006 Pan Pacific Championships are going to be there but I haven't been able to figure out what this pool looks like.

There was supposed to be a great new pool built (outdoors) at UBC for the competition, but it looks like they may have completely scrapped building it all together.

Thanks for the help Chris! I'm sure if I had tried hard enough I could have found that pool tour.

The diving and teaching pools seems awfully close to the main pool. I wonder how they'll block them off for TV and still keep the deck functional. Also the gallery looks like its tiny compared to most pools now. Going to be a tight squeeze into that place I imagine.
