In August 1926, construction of the prefecture’s first 25-meter pool was completed at Yokohama No. 2 Middle School (currently Yokohama Suiran High School). The prefecture’s swimming enthusiasts of the various schools in the prefecture would meet mainly there, conducting activities for the development of competitive swimming, and in 1927, the predecessor organization of the Yokohama Swimming Association was founded.
The first public swimming competition (Yokohama Civic Water Tournament) was held in 1928. It took place with spectators crowding around the Yokohama No. 2 Middle School pool.
In 1930, the Motomachi Pool, which used spring water, was built to celebrate the coronation of the Showa Emperor. As the only certified pool in Yokohama at the time, this pool was the venue of the fourth to the twelfth Civic Water Tournaments.
In 1949, construction of the Nogeyama Pool was completed to coincide with the first National Sports Festival held in Yokohama. This certified pool, which featured a 10-meter diving platform in addition to a 50-meter, 8-lane, 180-centimeter deep competition swimming pool, was provided with stands with a huge capacity of 10,000 people.
Hironoshin Furuhashi and other swimming champions who were the driving force behind the development of competitive swimming in post-war Japan competed in the National Sports Festival held in September of that year, and for days on end, the venue was packed with spectators.
Then, in 1998, exactly 100 years after full-fledged international swimming competitions started being held in Yokohama, construction of the Yokohama International Swimming Pool, a full-fledged indoor pool capable of hosting international competitions, was completed in Tsuzuki-ku.
The 9th Pan Pacific Swimming Championships in Yokohama and the FINA Synchronized Swimming World Cup were held there in 2002 and 2006, respectively, having a major impact on the public.
This pool used for world championships also hosts events such as public swimming competitions, and swimming enthusiasts aspire to swim at the Yokohama International Swimming Pool, attesting to the growing importance of this pool.
