{{main|Trees Hall}}

Joseph C. Trees Pool, housed in the left wing of Trees Hall, is the current home of the swimming and diving program. The pool features a 75-by-165 foot (23-by-50 meter) Olympic-size swimming pool with a 770,000 gallon capacity. This main pool has the dual capability of an eight-lane, 50-meter course or a 20-lane {{convert|25|yd|m|adj=on}} course. When completed in 1962, it was hailed as the largest indoor pool in the country.[http://digital.library.pitt.edu/cgi-bin/t/text/pageviewer-idx?c=pittmiscpubs;cc=pittmiscpubs;g=documentingpitt;xc=1;xg=1;q1=Trees%20Hall;rgn=full%20text;idno=00c50130m;didno=00c50130m;view=image;seq=0284 Robert C.

Along with the 10 meter diving platform, it also has 5 and 7 meter platforms.[http://www.collegeswimming.com/team/Pittsburgh/ CollegeSwimming.com: University of Pittsburgh, accessdate=2008-12-13] An additional 6-lane {{convert|25|yd|m|adj=on}} pool was added in the summer of 1963. In 2002, a Daktronic scoreboard was installed and dedicated the Ben Grady, a former Pitt head swimming coach. In 2003, a Panthers' Wall of Fame was unveiled that featured plaques of every Pitt Swimming and Diving All-American as well as conference and meet championship trophies.[http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/pitt/sports/c-swim/auto_pdf/07mediaguide.pdf 2006-07 Pitt Swimming and Diving Media Guide] Currently, the diving area is equipped with two one-meter and two three-meter durafirm stands with maxiflex boards, in addition to multiple diving towers with a {{convert|16|ft|m|adj=on}} water depth.[http://pittsburghpanthers.cstv.com/facilities/pitt-facilities-trees-pool.html Athletic facilities: Trees Pool] Trees pool is underwent a $1.92 million major renovation completed in September, 2008 which includes a new bottom logo, new 1-meter diving platforms, new pool deck, new deck heating, new water heating, filtration and circulation systems, and a reduction of the pool length from 55m to 50m.[http://mac10.umc.pitt.edu/m/FMPro?-db=ma.fp5&-format=d.html&-lay=a&-sortfield=date&-sortorder=descend&keywords=master%20plan&-max=50&-recid=37475&-find= NewsFromPitt: Construction and Renovations, 2008]

=Women=

The Pitt women's team has placed in the national swimming and diving championship meets at least 23 times. This includes 15 different seasons in which the women's team scored points and placed in theNCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships since Pitt began competing at the the NCAA women's championships in 1983.{{cite book | url= http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/swimming_champs_records/2023-24/D1Women.pdf | title=Division I Women's Swimming and Diving Championships Championships Records Book | year=2023 | publisher=National Collegiate Athletic Association | pages=24-32 | accessdate=October 15, 2024}} Prior to the NCAA holding an intercollegiate national championship meet for women, the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) began holding intercollegiate national swimming and diving championships for women beginning in 1973. In 1982, the last year of the AIAW held a championship and the first year that the NCAA sponsored women's swimming and diving championship, both the AIAW and NCAA held competing national championship events. Pitt participated at the AIAW national championship meet in 1982, as did defending national champion Texas.{{cite book|url=https://www.nolefan.org/ref/wsw1982_03_20_sid.pdf|title=AIAW Division I National Swimming & Diving Championship (Results)|date=March 20, 1982|publisher=Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women|location=Austin, TX|accessdate=October 15, 2024}} Note that due to incomplete records, Pitt's team standing finishes at the 1975 to 1977 AIAW championships are unknown.
