fr. kevin fitzpatrick aquatic center

Completed in June of 2017, the Fr. Kevin Fitzpatrick Aquatic Center features a 51-meter, 7-lane Olympic-sized pool. The new aquatics center has men's and women's locker rooms with showers, three storage rooms, a coaches office with team room, two outdoor showers and a snack bar in addition to men's and women's restrooms for spectators. The pool also boasts "track-start" style racing platforms, along with warm-up and cool-down swim lanes.

For spectators, there is luxury seating below a 75' covered section with visibility to the new 15' x 8' scoreboard that sits off the pool deck 14' high.

Located on the west side of campus, the aquatics center also features a new 30-car parking lot while the old pool has been demolished to create additional parking as well.

Servite now has the ability to host future CIF playoff events for swimming and water polo as well as community events such as swim lessons.

The pool will be serviced by five wet chlorine filters with three separate chemical rooms and an outdoor storage area for all pool equipment.

The new aquatics center is named in honor of Fr. Kevin Fitzpatrick, the late Servite priest who was a teacher, avid Aquatics supporter and friend to thousands of alumni.

The first official contest was played on August 23rd when Servite Water Polo opened their 2017 season against Edison. The Friars earned the victory 16-13 over the Chargers in overtime. The center was then dedicated on August 24th during a ceremony held on the pool deck.

Servite High School would like to thank all of our generous donors for their support of this project specifically Jim Belardi '75 and Tim Buckley '73 who played a huge role in funding the aquatic center.
