AB Facilities

The Student Recreation & Sports Complex (SRSC) is located in the heart of IU’s campus and plays home to the Indiana University varsity swimming and diving programs. This 137,832 square foot facility includes the 44,651 square foot Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatics Center. The diving center alone features a full dryland facility with trampolines, drylands, a springfloor, and belts, spotting belts above 1 and 3 meter springboards, a full bubbler system throughout to help campers learn new dives, a hot tub and deck shower, four 1meter and two 3meter springboards as well as one of the few, full indoor towers in the country (1, 3, 5, 7, and 10-meter platforms). Furthermore, at every station there are numerous monitors with TIVO capabilities so each camper may review their dive or work at dryland.

As a new era begins at Indiana Diving, Coach Drew Johansen and Indiana University are working together to produce the most state-of-the-art diving facilities in the US. We will be installing High Performance Water Belts (1-Meter and 3-Meter) this fall; a pulley and belt system will be unlike any other in the country. Coach Johansen considers this the most valuable training device when teaching divers of all ages & abilities, and one that will benefit both IU divers and TriSynerG Campers for decades to come. We will be upgrading the video replay and Dartfish computers as well. Coach Johansen has one of the most extensive video libraries in the world and with this upgrade all 20,000 dives in his library will be available for review anywhere in the pool. These upgrades will add to the IU tradition of world-class, cutting edge facilities and lead the way for diving in the US as we attempt to regain the top spot on the world stage.

The Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatics Center has hosted the 1996, 2001, & 2012 NCAA Zone C Diving competition, the 1997, 1999, 2002, 2006, & 2013 Big Ten Men's Swimming and Diving Championships and Junior Nationals, and the 1998, 2001, 2005, and 2011 Big Ten Women's Swimming and Diving Championships.

The IU Outdoor Pool is a historic facility on the campus of Indiana University. It has been the summer home for many Olympic Gold Medalists who trained daily as IU athletes for Doc Counsilman & Hobie Billingsley. In 1980, it was featured as part of an award-winning documentary detailing the IU Diving Program and Dive Camp specifically entitled Hobie’s Heroes. The diving well features a full tower (1,3,5,7,& 10 meter platforms), four 1meter and two 3meter springboards.

The IU Outdoor Dryland Facility is yet another great facility where campers practice their techniques before applying it at the pools. This beautiful shaded facility is located right outside the Outdoor Pool and features three dryboards and three trampolines with rigs and belts above each.

TriSynerG™ has designed a proprietary dry-land facility which we believe is the most advanced of its kind in the US.

The purpose of the dryland facility is to allow divers to experience the sensations of hurdles, take-off, spinning, twisting and spotting in an environment that is safe, quick to execute, and easy to video and playback. In essence, it allows us to increase the number of reps while reducing the impact on the body… the perfect combination for improvement.

This facility is used by all the TriSynerG Camps, the Indiana University Diving Team, post-graduate divers training with Drew for the Olympics, and the TriSynerG Diving Club @ Indiana University.

At our disposal as well is the iconic Royer Pool. In the 1970’s, it was home to legendary IU Swimming and Diving coaches Hobie Billinglsey and Doc Counsilman who captured six consecutive NCAA Championships and several Olympics gold medals with a group of swimmers and divers affectionately known as “The Golden Team”. Such athletes included Mark Spitz, Cynthia Potter, Mark Lenzi, Gary Hall, and Jim Montgomery. The Royer Diving Well features two 1meters and two 3meter springboards as well as a 1m & 5m tower.
