6 Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center Before the season, the University of Texas completed construction on a $3 million-dollar renovation to the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center. Already regarded as one of the finest and fastest collegiate swimming centers in the country, the Jamail Texas Swim Center has now been upgraded into a category among the elite facilities in the nation. The 50-meter pool, which holds 880,000 gallons of water, added a newly remolded moveable bulkhead and new underwater windows. The bulkhead was constructed out of 25,000 pounds of aluminum and engineered to run on a track; they also can be raised to the ceiling in order to alter lane lengths for different events. The underwater windows were constructed out of fourlayered heat-strengthened glass, enabling light to enter the pool and allowing for an interesting spectator view. The swim center also reconstructed its patio entrance, as well as adding a new handicap seating area, which are both ADA (American Disabilities Act) certified. Additionally, a high-tech sound booth overlooking the entire complex has been constructed with new theatre-quality speakers which have been installed throughout the facility. The schedule will provide a great opportunity for fans to see the facility as the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center will host three dual meets as well as the Annual Texas Invitational (Dec. 3-5), and the Austin Grand Prix (March 4-6, 2010). THE POOL: Moveable bulkheads, lowered from the ceiling, can change the 50m pool into either a 25m or 25 yd short course. The pool is nine feet deep and 75 1 wide, providing eight-foot lanes with generous side protective lanes. The pool has rim-flow gutters, which drastically reduce turbulence. The pool depth and bulkhead position also help reduce turbulence, making the JTSC one of the fastest pools in the world. THE BROWNING DIVING POOL: The Browning Diving Pool measures 75 1 wide, and 15 to 18 feet deep. It has four 1m and six 3m springboards and a diving tower with 1m, 3m, 5m, 7.5m, and 10m platforms. The diving pool is designed to maximize both performance and judges views. LIGHTING: Both the swimming and diving pools are lighted by overhead and underwater lights, and both are equipped with underwater speakers and diving windows. TIMING/JUDGING/SCOREBOARD: An electronic timing system determines elapsed time, order of finish and lap splits for each lane to.001 second, which are transmitted to a large display scoreboard. Judges stations at the diving pool also compute and transmit scoring to the display. A pair of video boards were installed at the facility in November of Manufactured by Daktronics, the video board hanging over the north end of the pool measures 10 feet high and 24 feet wide. The video board installed in place of the tote board at the diving well measures 10 feet high and 18 feet wide.
