The Jean K. Freeman Aquatic Center is a venue for competitive swimming at the University of Minnesota in the United States, constructed in 1990. It is named for Jean Freeman, the university's long-time women's swimming coach.[1] The main competition pool is named after Dorothy L. Sheppard, a multi-sport athlete for the University in the 1920s and a donor to the Aquatics Center and a benefactor of women's sports at the university.[2][3]
