Joseph C. Trees Pool, housed in the left wing of Trees Hall, is the current home of the swimming and diving program. The pool features a 75-by-165 foot (23-by-50 meter) Olympic-size swimming pool with a 770,000 gallon capacity. This main pool has the dual capability of an eight-lane, 50-meter course or a 20-lane 25-yard (23 m) course. When completed in 1962, it was hailed as the largest indoor pool in the country.[4] Although it was one of the last 55-yard (50 m) pools constructed in the United States, it was also one of the first pools with a 10-meter high-dive tower, underwater windows, underwater sound system, and heated deck and benches. Along with the 10 meter diving platform, it also has 5 and 7 meter platforms.[5] An additional 6-lane 25-yard (23 m) pool was added in the summer of 1963. In 2002, a Daktronic scoreboard was installed and dedicated the Ben Grady, a former Pitt head swimming coach. In 2003, a Panthers' Wall of Fame was unveiled that featured plaques of every Pitt Swimming and Diving All-American as well as conference and meet championship trophies.[6] Currently, the diving area is equipped with two one-meter and two three-meter durafirm stands with maxiflex boards, in addition to multiple diving towers with a 16-foot (4.9 m) water depth.[7] Trees pool is underwent a $1.92 million major renovation completed in September, 2008 which includes a new bottom logo, new 1-meter diving platforms, new pool deck, new deck heating, new water heating, filtration and circulation systems, and a reduction of the pool length from 55m to 50m.[8] [9]
