Work has been completed on a new $19 mil Aquatics Center at Torrey Pines High School, which is home to one of California’s most decorated high school swimming, diving, and water polo programs. The 7.1k sf project, located at 3710 Del Mar Heights Rd in San Diego’s Del Mar Heights area, was funded primarily by the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) and built by C.W. Driver Companies.
The new facility delivers a competition-grade training and competition environment for swimming, diving, and water polo teams from multiple SDUHSD high schools. The centerpiece building houses a 25-yard by 37-meter competition pool designed to NCAA and USA Swimming standards, featuring a twelve-foot deep-end with two diving boards for competitive diving, as well as infrastructure to support water polo practices and competition play. The pool features three shallow water lanes to serve as instructional swimming area and support adaptive aquatics programming for students with disabilities and those needing therapeutic physical activity.
The Aquatics Center reflects a deep understanding of what competitive programs need to succeed. The adjacent main building houses:
• Expanded locker rooms with quick pool access and space for gear and school supplies
• Team rooms to build culture
• Centralized coaches’ offices and storage, eliminating off-site equipment runs and allowing staff to focus on athletes, not logistics
• Five ADA-accessible restrooms throughout the facility
Despite working on an active high school campus, C.W. Driver completed the Aquatics Center in under 19 months by prioritizing construction during off-peak hours and coordinating closely with school leadership to minimize disruption to academic and athletic schedules.
The Aquatics Center marks the latest milestone in the San Dieguito Unified School District's multi-year Athletics Facilities Project, a comprehensive modernization of Torrey Pines' sports infrastructure to serve over 2,600 students.
