Lompoc Aquatic Center

I swam here at about 6:30 PM on a Thursday in May. I got in a quick 2,000 yards. They have a competition pool with a lot of lanes and depth. There is also a water park and another 25-yard pool that is shallower. It was all empty. You’re supposed to go online and reserve a lane (two to a lane max). But I just walked up and had a lane to myself. The water temperature was good. There’s a good locker room with lockers that have keys. It is a really nice facility and worth a stop, if you’re in the area. If I had time in my schedule tomorrow, I’d go again.

The facilities are well laid out and the therapy pool is great for the rehabilitation of my ruptured Achilles tendon. The staff and lifeguards are very nice and good people. I wish they'd allow my 4-year old between 5 and 6 PM; 7 PM is too late to take him.
