The Deelfontein Imperial Yeomanry Hotel swimming pool is a historical sports facility located near De Aar in the Northern Cape, South Africa. The pool was part of the Deelfontein Imperial Yeomanry Hospital complex, established during the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902). The hospital was built by the British Imperial Yeomanry to treat wounded soldiers, and after the war, the site was repurposed into a hotel and recreational area. The swimming pool, constructed around 1910, is one of the few remaining structures from this era, reflecting the early 20th-century leisure facilities that emerged in the region.
