It's named after Coach Robert Royer whose stent began in the 1930's and ended almost three decades later. The six lane pool with diving well is nicely maintained and appears to be mainly used by faculty. There are locker rooms. The facility is no longer used for competition, however the seating is still present. The spectator area is extremely compact and steep. It must have been thrilling to watch swim and dive. The most interesting aspect of the pool is not pool itself. It's the team swim photos that adorn the walls along the top. Decades upon decades of championship seasons under Coach Councilman. If your a swim nerd this would definitely be a not miss place when visiting the campus of Indiana.

The Councilman Billingsley swimming and diving complex is dedicated to longtime swim coach Doc Councilman now deceased. Also to Hobie Billingsley who attended the meet and now in his early 90's. Both were influential figures in the world of swim and dive for decades. The complex built in the mid 90's and located in the (SRSC) Student Recreation Sports Complex. It's sets on Law Ln and Union St. The aquatic complex consist of almost 145,000 of swimming and diving capability. The complex also houses Indiana's polo team. Parking close may be tricky with most being permit only. The complex features an 8 lane Olympic size pool with depths of seven to eight feet for greater speed. The complex also features an indoor diving tower. Two one meter and three meter spring board diving. As well as up to 10 meter platform diving. The facility is immaculate and maintained to high standards. The beauty of the facility comes from the wonderful banners and photos posted on the walls. It really brings the history of Indiana Swim & Dive to life. There is spectator seating, however not large. Estimated capacity is under 500. The wooden bleachers are in need of refinishing. A highlight however for spectators is the gigantic video board showing times and video. They also have a much smaller one at the diving well for polo and dive. The locker area is spacious and well maintained. There are other rooms for offices and meetings located just off deck. Being a Hoosier I can't help but be a fan of the Councilman Billingsley pool. But any bias aside, it is an incredible complex.

They have a toddler area and six big shade umbrellas. There's a deeper area for the diving board and the big kids waterslide. They have limited snacks and drinks so I'd recommend bringing a drink if you want.

An employee and then the manager tell me they are not ordering any more soda or any other drinks because there are 'only' three weekends left to go in the season. I lived in the former Soviet Union, so I can say with some authority that this is Soviet-level stupidity. They make at least 50 cents profit on each can of soda. Probably more. So go out and buy four cases and fill up your coolers. How hard is that?? Can we please have some adult management at our city pool? You can't just leave kids in charge and hope for the best.

The SRSC doesn't even come close, but eh it works. It's like a 24 hour fitness - good enough. It features: *Multiple strength & cardio areas - I typically go to the strength area all the way at the end of the hall, past the basketball/volleyballs. That's where they have 6 or 7 racks + weight. Warning: clean off the bars before you use them - they're filthy. They have an amazing amount of treadmills (even curved treadmills!), rowers and stair steppers. *Group exercise/yoga & Pilates studio - I've taken a Zumba class here and tried to take a yoga class (addt'l $8 punch card needed!) They're just okay, but hey it's cheap. *Seven racquetball/wallyball courts, two squash courts, table tennis, & badminton *Five basketball/volleyball courts - Haven't played basketball or volleyball, but I've played intramural kickball on these courts. They'll just partition off a section of intramural sports. *The Counsilman/Billingsley Aquatic Center (CBAC) Olympic-sized pool/diving well - Swam here once. Not much to say except ask the lifeguards which lanes you can swim in. They'll often have swim meets at this pool, so parking can get a little crowded. *Indoor walking/jogging/running track - this runs right over the basketball/volleyball courts. *Futsal Court TON OF undergrads though so I typically go right when it opens in the AM (6am on weekdays/8 am on weekends).
