Uytengsu Aquatics Center

The Uytengsu Aquatics Center is a swimming facility on the University of Southern California campus in Los Angeles with two pools designed for different competition types. The main competition pool spans 50 meters for racing events, while a separate diving well includes towers for training and competitions.

The facility opened in 1983 and served as the main venue for aquatics events during the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles. Temporary seating structures were built specifically to accommodate spectators for the Olympic competitions.

The facility is closely tied to USC athletics and hosts swimming, diving, and water polo competitions throughout the academic year. The university's sports tradition is visible in how student teams actively use the venue for training and matches.

The facility can accommodate around 2,500 spectators in its seating areas and is designed to serve both recreational swimmers and serious competitors. Water temperature is carefully maintained across both pools to ensure comfortable conditions for different training and competition purposes.

The facility is named after Peter Daland, a legendary USC coach whose teams won nine national championships between 1958 and 1992. His name honors his lasting legacy and profound influence on the university's swimming program.
