Where it All Began
  Aeriel view of the Activity and Competition Pools - May 30, 2005
On Decemeber 9, 2004, City of Lompoc residents joined together to break ground on what is now the Lompoc Aquatic Center.  Although it was sad for many to watch those doors close, it allowed the City to create a facility that would suit the needs of everyone here in the community. 

Today, the Lompoc Aquatic Facility is one of the many gems of Lompoc. After moving from our city's small municipal pool, which could only hold 150, to a multi-pool 600 capacity facility, now the City is able to host a broad range of events. The City of Lompoc is proud to host swimming and water polo events, cater to large parties and provide some additional fun activities like the slides and AquaPlay recreation structure.  


On October 21, 2006, the City of Lompoc celebrated the Grand Opening of the Lompoc Aquatic Facility. For the past 10 years Lompoc Aquatic Facility has had a lot of use and city staff is working diligently to ensure all aspects of the facility stay in great and is able to shine for many more years as a jewel of the Community.

Lompoc Isn't Alone ... 
In the world of Aquatics, Lompoc is not the only city going through major renovations. Since November 2014, the famous Belmont Pool of Long Beach has been under complete renovation.   

The original Belmont Pool was built for the 1968 Men's Olympic Trails. At the time, the facility was a reflection of Californian innovation and integrated design. But as all things do, time began to take the best of the facility. So in 2014 the City of Long Beach began it's Belmont Pool and Aquatics Center Project. A one - of - it's -  kind project, that will once again bring glory to the City of Long Beach and Long Beach Aquatics. 

Their new facility will be the best of both an indoor and outdoor pool. The project has integrated several components to create not just an amazing facility, but one that serves the needs of the community, but is also sustainable. Estimated time-frame for completion is somewhere between 2018 and 2020.

Kyle started off as a Lifeguard and over the years has worked his way up to Head Guard. Kyle's years of experience show through and through, he is the long time winner of our ongoing Guard Games.Not because he is so competitive, but because he is such an amazing team player. 

You might also recognize Kyle from the YMCA's ASEs program, he is a leader at the La Honda site, which makes him a popular figure here at the Lompoc Aquatic Center with the kids.

Kyle is also a musician, playing the drums and guitar, he also loves just about every genre of music. Music is truly one of his passions. So if you see Kyle around ask about your favorite band, I am sure he's already a fan.
