They have absolutely nothing to swimming & diving facilities. Hell I believe when they built the Natatorium in 1985 they didn’t even have dressing rooms. I think they do now. You can see in the other spots the way they invest. That is important to recruits

The Nat was built quick n dirty for the Olympic sports fest, which was a consolation prize for the athletes that just missed making the Olympics in 1984. It was built with zero foresight, some say to be torn down afterwards, but being that The Huey was the best thing LSU had at the time, they kept the Nat. Any money they’ve spent there through the years was barely putting lipstick on a pig... and they grossly overpaid for what they got nevertheless.
Interestingly in the 1980s the Nat wasn’t too bad compared to what some others in the SEC had. One could argue that the only SEC championship in 1988 came from a boost of the program from the facility upgrade.
We had lockers in a utility closet by the diving well. The bottom of my locker was rusted out and there was a family of rats that lived underneath our row of lockers. Not an appealing place for an aspiring LSU athlete.
