        The Greenville Memorial Swimming Pool (GMSP) was built in 1950-51 after years of planning and designing. The original pool was 50 feet wide by 105 feet long with a carbon steel basin that slopes from 3 feet to 11 feet deep and held 240,000 gallons of water. A kiddie wading pool was also built (17 feet by 20 feet) ranging from 7 – 18 inches deep. As of this writing, it is being assumed that this type of pool basin is the first of its kind. There has not been any significant evidence to refute this claim. Until something appears, Greenville can add this notch to its historical belt.

          Designed by George Jewett of the Chicago Bridge and Iron Co., the pool was dedicated on July 16, 1952 as a living memorial to those who served in the nations’ wars from Greenville. The pool officially opened for swimming five days later. Approximately 15 years later another section was added to the pool (the current ‘L’ shape) and added another 30,000 gallons of water to the pool, bringing its total to 270,000 gallons.
