NCAA swimming still uses yards for competition, so an Olympic sized pool (25 m long lanes) is unnecessary unless the university wants to host events outside of collegiate competition.

Most modern Natatorium have a movable bulkhead that can be adjusted to allow for multiple configurations, including a warm up/ temperature acclimation area behind the bulkhead.
It seems silly to spend any significant money to upgrade the current facility without changing the footprint.

The 2025 Athletic Facilities Master Plan (released in 2010), indicated a new Aquatics Competition and Practice Facility to the North end, and connected to the Wellness Center.
I don’t think there is space in its current location to make the necessary changes to be an adequate competition pool. It is 25 yards (not meters), and as such is not even 1/2 the length of an Olympic sized pool. It also lacks the depth for NCAA dive platforms.
I’m sure it all comes down to funding. Of course that master plan also shows a new wrestling room attached to east of Frost Arena (it is now on the west of SJAC), and a dedicated golf driving range and practice facility (the “Biddy is now in the SJAC, with putting/chipping greens and some simulators).

Good for them, I guess. I wish we had more ways to move the needle

Feels like USD has found a way to upgrade facilities for all of their sports, I still cannot figure out how. It has to be more University dollars for those projects. We still have so sports at are competing at average HS facilities. Softball, Baseball, Soccer, Outdoor Track and the above mentioned Swim and Dive. I haven't heard if the pool is part of First Bank and Trust Arena `but these sports need some upgrades.

I am really curious to see these compelted new arena. hopefully it still has the magic for home court advantage and better sight lines for those in the upper sections.
