Opened in the summer of 1985, the LSU Natatorium has served as the exclusive home of the swimming and diving teams for the past 36 seasons.

The complex features a 50-meter pool, which can be converted into two 25-meter or 25-yard pools with the use of bulkheads. Furthermore, the facility houses a championship diving well, which was completely renovated in the summer of 2003 with one-meter and three-meter springboards surrounding five-, seven- and 10-meter platforms. The stadium has a seating capacity of 2,200.

The programs added new graphics and signage throughout the venue in the fall of 2011 and upgraded the scoring system in the fall of 2008, unveiling a pair of state-of-the-art videoboards. Refurbished locker rooms were also completed in September 1998. The spacious locker rooms feature separate varsity lockers, both for men and women, and include public showers and locker areas.

The facility has played host to several national competitions, including the 1985 National Sports Festival, the 1986 Men’s Southeastern Conference Championships, the 1987 NCAA Diving Regional, and the U.S. Diving National Championships in the spring of 1987. The Natatorium was also the host facility during the 1999 NCAA Regional Diving Championships.
