About Robson & Lindley Aquatic Center

The Robson & Lindley Aquatics Center and Barr-McMillion Natatorium is the 42,000 square foot home to SMU's internationally-recognized men's and women's swimming and diving teams.

The Aquatics Center features an Olympic-sized, eight-lane indoor pool with a platform diving area, including four springboards and a 10-meter tower for training and competition. Coaches' offices, men's, women's, and visitor locker rooms, and a classroom and meeting area are located adjacent to the pool. Spectator seating for 800 is on the mezzanine level.

To further cement this facility as one of the finest in college athletics, SMU is building an adjacent outdoor pool to further enhance this space. The project design includes an eight-lane, 50-meter by 25-yard outdoor pool, 1- and 3-meter diving boards, and a 20-foot by the 40-foot instructional pool that will be used for lessons and rehab/therapy. With the addition of the outdoor pool to the Robson & Lindley Aquatic Center, SMU will be the only University in the country with both an indoor and outdoor, 8-lane, 50-meter pool in one facility.
