Since UIC became a Division I program in 1982, the swimming and diving program has called one of finest swimming facilities in the city home, Flames Natatorium.
The pool, which hosted three Horizon League Championships in the past nine years, is located in UIC's Physical Education Building. The facility houses two pools. One is a 50-meter Olympic-sized swimming pool, as well as two diving boards at both the one- and three-meter height, and the other is a 6 lane, 25 yard pool. Outside of college competition, the Flames Natatorium has been host to numerous Illinois Swimming State Championships, USA Sectional Series, Warrior Games, and international Water Polo exhibitions.
