About

The Kern High School District Aquatic Complex, located at 7301 Old River Rd, Bakersfield, CA, is a state-of-the-art aquatic facility. It features a 50-meter by 25-yard competitive pool and a 25-yard by 15-yard warm-up/instructional pool. The complex serves the Kern High School District by hosting numerous high school swimming and water polo events, district-wide meets, and providing a premier venue for aquatic sports.

The competitive pool is typically maintained at approximately 78-80 degrees Fahrenheit, while the warm-up/instructional pool is kept at a warmer temperature, approximately 82-84 degrees Fahrenheit.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The aquatic center is highly praised for its excellent facilities for various water sports like swimming, diving, and water polo. The staff is consistently described as excellent, friendly, welcoming, and attentive, with security and lifeguards noted as being on point. Observers appreciate the comfort and visibility due to ample shade. The center is also recognized for its positive impact on children and adults. While swim meets are generally good, there is a suggestion for improved timing equipment. However, a significant concern is raised regarding the management's lack of respect for the surrounding community, specifically citing constant, all-day and all-night lighting that disregards neighboring homes, an issue that persists despite repeated complaints.

It's an excellent place to play water polo, dive, and swim. This aquatic center is quite welcoming to everyone who uses it, especially when combined with its excellent personnel. From the viewpoint of the observer, comfort and visibility are excellent because there is a good quantity of shade.

The staff and management has zero respect for the surrounding community. Their lights stay on all day and night. A complete disregard for the neighboring homes. It’s been brought to their attention several times, and it continues to happen.
