About
Heated and pH-balanced aquatic facility with lanes for swimming and space for water polo matches.
Both the 50-meter competition pool and the 25-yard teaching/warm-up pool at the Soda Aquatic Center are heated year-round.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This is a large, impressive aquatic facility, highly praised for its multiple pools accommodating various activities like water polo, diving, and swimming lanes, along with two dedicated warm-up pools. It serves numerous groups including swim and polo teams, and a Special Olympics program (East Bay Sea Serpents). Reviewers generally note properly heated and pH-balanced water, functional facilities, nice locker rooms, great staff, and bleachers. Parking is described as ample, with street parking available even if on-site parking is limited. However, some significant drawbacks include concerns about water cleanliness, with multiple participants reporting issues. Additionally, the facility's accessibility for lap swimming is criticized for being inconvenient for working individuals, primarily catering to kids, housewives, and retirees.

This facility is huge! Located on the Campolindo High School campus, it has room for about 4 water polo matches, a diving pool and swimming lanes, all at once. Home for a large number of swim and polo teams, and a Special Olympics program - the East Bay Sea Serpents. Nice locker rooms and great staff, bleachers, and all the trimmings. An impressive facility serving the Orinda community. For those that want to grab a bite to eat after their swim, you are two minutes from Moraga and many food choices...

Kids came her for a swim meet and this they have one of the nicer facilities. The pools are properly heated and pH balanced and everything was in working order. As expected parking is a bit limited but there are ample street parking within a 5 minute walk

Nice big swimming pool here. And you get enough parking lot. Love this place for different kind of swimming meets. Lucky for those kids practice here for everyday. Those two standard warm up pools is a plus.

Its a big facility but water is not cleaned . In past couple of meets many participants talked about its cleanliness and experienced it. Hope they maintain the cleanliness of the water

Nice facility, but essentially serves the needs of kids, housewives, and retirees. If you work for a living you're pretty much SOL if you want to lap swim. Now please excuse me, l have to go earn some money so I can pay my taxes that pay for it.
