Calexico High School – Margarita De Necochea Bulldog Aquatic Center
Calexico, CA
The Margarita De Necochea Bulldog Aquatic Center, completed in July 2016, replaced the original pool damaged by a 7.2 earthquake that struck the region back in April 2010.
The $7.4 million project consisted of $2.7 million in state funding from a California Parks and Recreation Department grant, Calexico’s Measure H Revenue, Calexico’s Measure H bond and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The pool layout was designed in two sections: one for small children and the other for older, more experienced patrons.
The new facility will serve as a hub for the Calexico Swim Team, local-residents and its surrounding communities; and be a place where residents of all ages can enjoy a safe swim and play with family and friends.
Aquatic amenities include:
5,000 sq. ft. Competition Pool
- Eight 25-yard lap lanes
- Stair entry
- Underwater lights
2,000 sq. ft. Recreation Pool
- Two stair entries
- ADA compliant pool lift
