Lompoc Aquatic Center

My daughter had great swim instructors, the pool and locker rooms are always clean, and owners/​managers are so wonderful. Lompoc is lucky to have this place!

Kudos to the entire staff. They were completely accommodating to our birthday party during a weekday public swim. The head lifeguard was very attentive to our needs even though he was being pulled in a thousand directions. Great job to the entire team!

Great place to go for the whole family. Water is 82. Inside is also warm like a green house. They have a place for young kids to play, 7 foot for lap swimming, and two giant water slides. The staff is also great.

It’s really sad that the pool activities are only available for 2 hours for kids to play 3 days a week. The lifeguards need lessons in manners as well. The slides are not open to children under 48″ and my daughter is taking swim lessons right where the slides are. Just wish they would change the rules regarding the slide and stay open more during the summer.

One of the nicest things to do in lompoc. The price is reasonable 4.00 for adults and 3.00 for children. They do only accept cash or check no plastic. The seating around the pool is ample for non swimmers although FYI everyone regardless of swimming or not is required to pay. They have a nice area for younger kids and larger slides for adults and teens. In addition to the traditional water park play they have a large parent child area for adults to work with younger kids. The pool is busy probably due to the very limited hours they are open. The pool was clean and the locker rooms were average. The locks on the lockers several at least half broken and not user friendly. The staff members were friendly at the front cash register and the life guards were really nice and kept the water slide lines and child play area moving along. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was due to the very limited hours open and lockers needing repair. Overall great place to take your family on the weekend.

The lifeguards are amazing and the play structure is great. Lompoc has needed something like this. It is a great addition to the community. However, It doesn’t have great hour for kids, there are not a lot of times kids can get in the therapy pool and the facility is DIRTY. I usually go home and take another shower when I leave because I have left with hair or trash stuck on my feet. I wish they didn’t charge for non swimmers.

Literally the nicest thing in Lompoc. It’s a clean and new facility with two lap swim areas, a baby pool/​therapy pool, and a kids area with a jungle gym type thing.
I love that one of the lap pools is warmer than the others. Sometimes I am just not ready to jump in the cold one! It’s nice to swim a few warm-​warm up laps first :)
They are a little bit stingy on hours. If they had more availability I know it’d be a hit with more people. Especially the military folks who work strange hours, and restaurant/​bar guys too.
You can enter the pool as a non-​member during very very very select hours. Other than that you could join YMCA for pool access or purchase the monthly slash pass. Overall a great place and I love going there.

What a great place for the friends and fam! My kids and I had a ball going down the big crazy slides and using the mounted water guns to get everybody. They have great lap pools too! Anyway great place or a birthday party if you have a birthday coming up. :)

My entire family enjoys the «rec swim». Two hours is the perfect amount of time to swim, slide and play. It’s 50% less than going to a movie and we’re getting physical activity.
My daughters and I attended a private birthday party for their friend. My younger daughter wasn’t paying attention and walked into the deeper part of the pool where she couldn’t keep her head above water. One of the life guards was quick to notice and jumped in, calmly helped my daughter back to the younger side of the pool. She was amazing because not only was the party uninterrupted, but my daughter stayed calm as well.

LOVE this place. Very clean, lots of attentive life guards and it’s spread out enough that even when there’s a lot of people it doesn’t fell crammed. The water play area is so fun for the little ones. They even have two large slides. For $ 10 me and both my children played and swam for 2 hours. That’s a GREAT deal. We had a birthday party here and it’s completely inexpensive to privately rent this facility and they provide the lifeguards in that cost. Cheaper than a party at Chuckee’s and way more fun. Looking forward to going back. Sure beats Paul Nelson in Santa Maria. My only complaint is that they need a larger changing area. It’s jammed packed after the swim session.

This is a great facility. I would have given it 5 stars but their summer hours are so pathetic, it warrants mentioning. In a town with little to nothing to do, the city needs to re-​evaluate this during the summer.

Went here for a kid’s birthday party. I was pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness and features of the facility. It doesn’t cost much to become a member. Plenty of stuff for little kids to do in the indoor water feature /​«playground». Plenty of attentive lifeguards.
Not even one band-​aid was spotted in or near the pool areas. No hairs. Nor any garbage. Even the locker rooms/​bathrooms were clean. Good parking. Overall, a solid place. I recommend that parents check out their swimming classes. Great facility for lap swimmers, too.

Awesome water fun for the whole family! I took my wife & kids on a vacation to Solvang. We ended up staying in the city of Lompoc to save a little bit of money. Before the trip, I tried to find activities for the kids. My kids LOVE swimming. The hotel had an outdoor pool, but we were traveling in November and the cold weather was already settling in.
I was fortunate enough to find the Lompoc Aquatic Center while searching through Google. It was only a few blocks away from our hotel, which made it very convenient. When we arrived, we found plenty of parking just outside the building. The facility looked pretty new
The water park is impressive! Completely indoors, so no need to worry about cold weather. The Aquatic Center offers a lap pool, aquatic play park, and water slides. They also have locker rooms and showers, but you must bring your own towels.
The children’s play pool didn’t appear to be very deep, but there were plenty of lifeguards all around the pool for added security.
The cost at the time we went was $ 3 per child (12 & under) and $ 4 per adult. I believe this is very reasonable, considering what you get. I live in Los Angeles and some of the activity centers around my area charge $ 10 per child for only 1 hour of playground use. So paying $ 3 per child is cheap in my opinion. It should be noted that parents will have to pay the $ 4 fee, regardless of whether they will actually use the facilities or not. Kind of a bummer, but oh well.
The Aquatic Center is nothing short of amazing. The pictures speak for themselves. A surprising find, considering how quaint Lompoc is. I left Lompoc wishing that my city had an aquatic park this awesome.
(YAY! Review #200!)

Love it!

How can you enjoy hours of playing in the pool if you have 2 hours per day, and for $ 3.00 to get in. If you would like to learn how to swim, they can teach I guess pretty much everyone from a toddler to adult age.
The bathrooms are not well-​kept, you can see dirt on the floor that looks like it was not cleaned for days or maybe weeks. The bathroom stalls are not clean also. The floor is always slippery, I think it’s the kind of tiles they used, liability to the city when something happens. Pooling of water on the floor is not good.
I think the management is doing a good job. I don’t see chaos each time I go there. I think the swimming instructors are doing a great job. I saw this kid today who’s not listening to the teacher, and the dad was just watching this insubordination. Not cool. The teacher showed his patience and professionalism.
Kudos to Patrick, he taught my kid many session times already. My kid became good in swimming in a short period of time.
All I wish for is longer hours of swimming so the whole family can enjoy the water.

Beautiful, clean, multi-​use pool. Has waterslides for bigger kids, play structure for little ones and a very shallow pool… also lap pool and aquatherapy pool as well. Great place for kids’ birthday parties, and the swim lessons, both group and private, are excellent.
