This is possibly the original pool to Indiana University. Built in the 20's it's housed in the School of Public Health. 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. read more
