Marin Academy Aquatics Center

The new high school Aquatic Center is located in the heart of a residential suburban neighborhood. The Center is used for competitive high school swimming and water polo, as well as water safety and swimming courses. In addition, community groups, youth sports and adult fitness programs use the pool. Managing the activities of the Center with the requisite nighttime lighting was a signficant concern for Marin Academy, the City and the neighbors.
