Servite High School Aquatics Center
Servite High School Aquatics Center
Completed in June of 2017, the Servite High School Aquatics 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 first official contest will be played on August 23rd when Servite Water Polo opens their 2017 season against Edison at 4pm. The center will be dedicated on August 24th during a ceremony that will be 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.
