The pool was originally an outdoor pool and gymnasium. From the 20s to the mid-50s, it was managed by Tom Donnet. During the Great Depression it was used as a depot for helping those in need of food and clothing. Renovations took place in the 1930s, when the facility received its first update and a domed roof installed. For many years Richmond was the only indoor training facility available in Australia with diving boards and a full-sized swimming pool. It was last renovated in 2002.
