The Robson & Lindley Aquatics Center, Barr-McMillion Natatorium and Holt Hickman Outdoor Pool is the 42,000 square foot home to SMU's internationally-recognized men's and women's swimming and diving teams.

The Aquatics Center features an Olympic-sized, eight-lane indoor pool with a platform diving area, including four springboards and a 10-meter tower for training and competition. Coaches' offices, men's, women's and visitor locker rooms and a classroom and meeting area are located adjacent to the pool. Spectator seating for 800 people is on the mezzanine level.

To further cement this facility as one of the finest in college athletics, SMU added an adjacent outdoor pool to further enhance this space. The Holt Hickman Outdoor Pool includes an eight-lane, 50-meter by 25-yard outdoor pool, 1- and 3-meter diving boards and a 20-foot by 40-foot instructional pool that is used for lessons and rehab/therapy.

SMU celebrated the future of Mustang swimming and diving with the dedication of the Holt Hickman Outdoor Pool on December 8, 2023. With the new pool, SMU becomes one of the few prestigious collegiate institutions with both indoor and outdoor 50-meter long-course pools in the same complex, including Texas, Auburn and Tennessee.
