Pool Closed for LBUSD Facility Modernization Project

In March 2023, the Laguna Beach Unified School District presented proposed updates for its ten-year Facilities Master Plan, outlining a comprehensive range of potential improvements that addressed aging infrastructure and the need to modernize facilities to meet current building codes, with a focus on long-term sustainability and safety. A key focus included modernizing the district’s aging pool facility, which also serves as the city's only pool and has reached the end of its 30-year lifespan. With outdated equipment and structures, extensive upgrades are required to bring it up to current standards. 

Construction began on June 8, and is planned to last 12 months. The new aquatic facility will include 16 swim lanes; modern restroom and changing areas for both the community and the school district; shaded seating for spectators; and sustainable design elements like rooftop solar water heater panels. The School District and City are working closely to minimize downtime during construction and are looking forward to the day when the new pool is ready to welcome swimmers of all ages. 

Other pools in the area are open for lap swim as well as programs like swim lessons and water aerobics. A printable version of this list is available HERE.
