Located in Zona Circumvalatiunii, the building that houses the swimming pool used to serve as a tank hangar belonging to the Romanian Army. Sometime during the 1970s, the building was converted to its current use. Codruta Sala, assisted by her then-husband Dominic Paraschiv, coached there in the 1970s, possibly in the 1980s as well. Doina Pentia, Serdineantu Cornel, and Szuhanek Gyuri, all former ILSA swimmers, have also coached at the Circumvalatiunii Pool over the years. At the time of this writing (March 2003), Szuhanek Gyuri is still active there.
