The City of San Luis Obispo’s pool
(a.k.a. the SLO Swim Center) is located in Sinsheimer Park, at the end of Southwood Drive
(902 Southwood Drive). This is a 50 meter by 25 yard outdoor pool. The temperature is maintained at 80 degrees
(81-82 degrees during colder months). In addition to the main pool, a
therapy pool is
available year-round, with depths ranging from 1' to 4'. The
temperature of the therapy pool is maintained at 88 degrees. The
facility is equipped to meet all ADA requirements and staffed by certified and trained rescue
personnel.
The goal for the aquatics program is to
enhance the emotional, physical, and social well-being of the community by offering a
variety of aquatic opportunities in which to participate. To achieve this goal, programs
may change to better meet the needs of the residents and users. Safety is, and always will
be, the primary factor in determining the specifics of any activity offered at the SLO
Swim Center.

information on Parks and Recreation Aquatics Programs, call the SLO
Swim Center at 781-7288.
