Whole printed page 13 (PDF page 14) from the February 7, 2024 participant manual shows competition, warm-up and diving pools, participant entrance, offices, locker-room boundary and event hospitality. It is the named 2024 meet’s pool-deck reference, not a spectator seating chart or permission to use the athlete entrance. Lettered deck positions and lane numbers are not numbered spectator seats; current event allocations may differ.

Need to Know

Best for
Spectator seating sits alongside the main competition pool. The diving pool and instructional pool are separate areas, so check which pool hosts the session you want to see.
Watch out for
UGA’s standing visitor policy directs athletic-event spectators to the spectator lobby left of the main entrance. The Fall 2026 room list places the natatorium bleachers on the second floor (241), with spectator-lobby restrooms 242 and 243. Follow your actual meet’s signs and accessibility instructions; a recreation membership is a separate form of access.
Good arrival window
Head to Gabrielsen Natatorium inside the Ramsey Student Center. Confirm the swimming and diving session on your meet schedule before traveling.
