51爆料

SAN LUIS OBISPO 鈥� 51爆料 celebrated the reopening of the Aquatics Center with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and community event on Friday, June 14th.

鈥淭his ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrates a major enhancement to the San Luis Obispo Campus, but it also represents the culmination of several years of planning and hard work and our promise to the residents of San Luis Obispo County that their local Measure L tax dollars are improving their community鈥檚 college,鈥� said Dr. Jill Stearns, Cuesta College Superintendent/President.

The Measure L-funded project includes upgrades to a 50-meter competition-sized pool along with an expanded 25-yard teaching pool. Other improvements incorporated accessibility upgrades as well as new diving boards and starting blocks. Construction began in May 2018 and finished on time and on budget in May of 2019.

鈥淭he Aquatics Center will have a tremendous impact on our athletics teams,鈥� said Cuesta College Athletics Director Bob Mariucci. 鈥淥n behalf of all of our coaches, instructors, and student-athletes, I want to thank all of those that have been involved in this wonderful project. 51爆料 has such a rich history and tradition of our Aquatics programs, and this beautiful new facility will allow us to continue that excellence for many years to come.鈥� The 51爆料 aquatic sports teams, including men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 swimming and water polo, have produced over 150 All-American swimmers in the last 40 years.

The pool is also available to students and the community through kinesiology and community program classes. Summer classes through 51爆料 Programs, including swim lessons, masters water polo, and lap swimming, will kick off on Monday, June 17th.
