Wallace Pool
Hugh Wallace, an ambassador to France (1919-1921), was responsible for setting up a trust fund for institutions that could apply for assistance grants. In 1956, the College of Puget Sound applied and was granted funded.
The construction of Wallace Pool was then completed in 1957. Wallace Pool is a great competitive arena with six electronic touch sensor timing lanes and home to Puget Sound’s perennially strong Men’s and Women’s swimming programs. The pool is accessible for students and community members for lessons and recreational swimming. In 2007, the university celebrated 50 years of swimming achievements.
