I feel like there was a poster on here that swam for Alabama in the 90s that's still connected to the program. He said that a new natatorium is in the works.

That guy is a dick and may have slightly mislead y'all We got approved for like 15 or 20 million in renovations/upgrades about 6 months ago. Seating will absolutely be addressed, but honestly forgot entirely what all that entails. Also unsure on construction dates.

I've been to Auburn's, UGA's, UT's, and Vandy's, and the last one is the only one that approaches the inadequacy of ours.

Go to uf's pool... in that weird pressurized bubble they call the O'Connell center. Seriously, you enter via revolving doors... on top of sharing a 40 year old arena with 5 other teams (hoops, gymnastics, and indoor track) Their pool is a tad older than ours, and certainly no nicer. It's like they have a different talent pool (lol) than what bama picks through. Having the sweet 96 olympic pool didn't exactly skyrocket georgia tech to any real level of success... having that dump hasn't hurt florida.
