INTRODUCTION “Our mission is to build a culture of excellence that will enable the team and each individual on the team to achieve their full potential in the pool, in the classroom and in life.” -DENNIS PURSLEY HEAD SWIMMING & DIVING COACH UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA

A NEW ERA OF CRIMSON TIDE SWIMMING AND DIVING There’s a new look on the deck of the Alabama Aquatic Center that goes well beyond the nearly 20 freshmen that populate this year’s rosters. That new look starts at the top with fi rst-year head coach Dennis Pursley and extends through a staff that includes fi ve new assistant coaches to go with two returners from a year ago. Plenty of the new faces look awfully familiar though, and once again that starts at the top. This will be Pursley’s second stint with Alabama swimming and diving following a career spent at the highest echelon of the sport. The Louisville, Ky., native worked under Tide legends John Foster and to start his coaching career in the mid-1970s, following an Alabama career that included earning All- honors and an SEC 200 title. He also earned both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree from the Capstone. The Hall of Fame coach returns to the deck of the Alabama Aquatic Center

From the architecture on campus to the landscaping, the University of Alabama campus is one of the most beauti- ful places in the state of Alabama.

The Ferguson Center was completed in 1973. Plans at the time called for the building to be constructed over Woods Hall, but it was built slightly to the north thanks to a student campaign to save the art building.

The Ferguson Center Game Room is the perfect place to unwind, test your skill at a video game, play a friendly game of pool or Ping-Pong, or enter a campus tourna- ment. With seven pool tables, video games, a Ping-Pong table, computer gaming and televisions, the Game Room offers a fun escape to the daily pressures of college life.

It includes two multi-use gyms, nine multi-purpose courts, weight machines, 1/8-mile jogging track, exten- sive cardio area, locker rooms, indoor swimming pool, dry and steam saunas, 12 lighted tennis courts, four aero- bics rooms, eight racquetball courts and a squash court— together encompassing more than 200,000 square feet. The facility’s outdoor aquatic area, which opened in the summer of 2003, features a lazy river, lap swim, large water-park-type slide and plenty of deck space.
