Orange Pool is South San Francisco’s only indoor municipal swimming pool. Opened in 1970, it continues to serve as a community-wide destination for residents of all ages. The pool has typically operated year-round, seven days a week, offering critical life-skill/safety learn-to swim programs, recreation, fitness, therapy, health, and wellness activities. Prior to the pandemic, public demand for aquatic programs has grown year over year, well beyond the pool’s capacity. The facility has exceeded the typical lifespan for an indoor aquatic center and is due for replacement: this new LEED Gold equivalent aquatic facility features two distinct pools a recreational indoor pool for water therapy and swim lessons, and a competitive outdoor pool for lap swimming and recreation.
