A strong swimmer, he won the New Zealand 100-yards championship in 1906 and 1910.[3] Freyberg died in 1963, the year the pool was opened, so it was decided to name it after him as he had trained at Te Aro baths which was previously at the site.[4]

The building is classified as a "Category I" ("places of 'special or outstanding historical or cultural heritage significance or value'") historic place by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust.

In 2011, along with the Michael Fowler Centre, it won an NZIA Enduring Architecture Award.[5] Шаблон:Clear left
