The commitment to excellence at Indiana University is obvious when observing the state-of-the-art facilities that the Hoosiers train and compete in throughout the season. The Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatics Center (CBAC), which was completed in 1996, is the home to Indiana University water polo in addition to the swimming and diving programs. Directions
The Student Recreational Sports Center, a 137,832-square foot facility located on the corner of Union Street and Law Lane on the Bloomington campus, includes the 44,651 square foot aquatic center utilized by Indiana's varsity water polo team.
The Counsilman Aquatics Center features an eight-lane, Olympic-sized pool spanning 30,512 square feet.
In addition to the actual pool and diving well, nearly 3,500-square feet of spectator seating provides optimum comfort and sight lines for water polo fans. Also, locker rooms for Indiana's varsity water polo and swimming and diving squads, as well as the visiting team, are housed at the facility along with on-deck coaches' offices.
The site has hosted the 2000 and 2002 National Championship for water polo, the 2001 and 2004 Big Ten Championship for women's swimming and diving and the 2002 Big Ten Championship for men's swimming and diving.
On the water polo side, the Aquatics Center played host to the United State National Team during the 2004 season. The Hoosiers played the Olympic team as it traveled across the U.S. on a college tour. The facility played host to the College Water Polo Association (CWPA) Eastern Championship for the first time in 2005 when the Hoosiers advanced to the finals.
This year, the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatics Center will host the CWPA Western Division Championship. The championship will be April 22-23. The winner and runner-up of the Western Division Championship will earn spots in the CWPA Eastern Championship. The conference title winner will earn one of five automatic bids to the NCAA Championship in Davis, Calif., May 12-14.
