facility provide plenty of daylight and a pleasant atmosphere in which to practice and compete.

The pool, built in 1969 at the same time as neighboring Hofheinz Pavilion, features six seven-foot, 25-yard lanes and is temperature-controlled. The remote 12-foot diving well is equipped with one-meter and three-meter diving boards. A trampoline and safety equipment for dry land diving practice are adjacent to the diving well.

The most recent improvements to the UH Natatorium were made this past summer when a new filtration system and a new vinyl liner were installed.

The Natatorium has seating for approximately 1,000 spectators and sports a Colorado Electronic Timing System and Scoreboard.

In addition to its location next to Hofheinz Pavilion, the Natatorium is just across the parking lot from the Athletics/Alumni Center and the rest of Houston's sports facilities.
