Matador Pool is the site of all home Cal State Northridge swimming and water polo events. Located on the southeast corner of the kinesiology building, the outdoor facility includes an eight-lane, 25-yard competition pool, with a pair of one-meter and a pair of three-meter diving boards attached at the east end. The facility also includes a four-lane, 25-yard pool immediately west of the competition pool for warm-ups and training. Both pools are heated to a temperature of 80 degrees at all times. Matador Pool has undergone major renovations in recent years. In the summer of 1996, the plumbing and wiring system was replaced and the warm-up pool was lengthened from 20 yards to its current 25 yards. In addition, a new deck and gutter system was installed as well as an updated heating system which now ties into the central heating unit of the university. Separate men's and women's locker rooms connect Matador Pool to the kinesiology building. Brand new locker rooms are in the works for the two programs and are expected to be completed in the near future. The facility also houses offices for Cal State Northridge's swimming and diving and water polo coaching staffs as well as an area for training divers, complete with a trampoline and built-in diving harness.
