Soda Aquatic Center
The Soda Aquatic Center opened to the public in 1999 and has three pools: a 3.5-foot-deep (1.1 m) pool, a diving well 10 to 13 feet (4.0 m) deep with two 1-meter springboards and two 3-meter springboards, and a competition pool. The 50 meter by 25-yard (23 m) competition pool is considered to be one of the fastest pools in the country.[citation needed]
The Soda Aquatic Center is the annual host of:
- The Water Polo Premier League
- The Orinda Moraga Pool Association's Swimming Championship Meet
- The DFAL Swimming and Diving Championship Meet
Because it has one of the few 50 meter pools in the area, the Soda Center is home to Orinda Aquatics and frequently used for USA Swimming swim meets.
The diving tank was used during the filming of the science television program Mythbusters to test the myths "Underwater Car and "Breathing Through a Tire".
The center replaced a large blacktop area which was known by students as the "backlot", where some students (sometimes called "backlotters") would congregate in large numbers during breaks to smoke and socialize.
