Is there a plan in place to renovate/replace/add to the TSC?
I know when I was in school back in the mid 90's they had a plan for an outdoor pool where the parking lot is as well as a complete re-do of the TSC.
That was nearly 20 years ago. The building is nearly 40 years old.
Any ideas? rumors?
I remember swimming there in 1977 when the TSC first opened. Wow, what a pool. I was also fortunate enough to swim there through college and beyond, 1983-1989. Wow, what a pool. And today.... Wow what a pool. Very few pools in the world come even close to comparing.
There was talk of a new outdoor pool in the mid-80s. Never happened.
FYI: Gregory Gym has an outdoor 12 lane, 25 yard pool.

I think for all the reasons stated above, outdoor swimming in Austin is not worth a new outdoor 50m facility.
there's talk of the pool being built right behind the diving well. I've seen plans but haven't heard if and when construction will begin.

UT Recs sports & UT athletics are 2 separate fifedomes, Last I heard, UT Swim Teams are not permitted to have organized practices at Gregory. Swimmers can go to Gregory on their own as UT students
There's also talk of a world class complex being built by the YMCA with cooperation of the city near the north west corner of lamar & Cesar chavez
