The city has officially approved the construction of the new fifty meter pool. Your commitment to this project ultimately ensured that our request was heard and honored. We will continue to monitor the development process until the doors open to the public.

addendum as of February 21st, 2013
lagunapool is working on creating a 50m x 25m pool (and plenty of parking) in Laguna Beach. We do need lots of support (comments are appreciated), and the more signatures, the better!
We are confident that we can make it happen!
THANK YOU!

Laguna Beach Is In Desperate Need Of A 50 METER LENGTH Pool!!!
Petition to the City of Laguna Beach to authorize and finance the building of a public pool, which needs to be 50 meter in length.
YES!!! AT LAST!!! PLEASE READ, SIGN, AND MAKE SURE TO FORWARD TO MORE PEOPLE!!!
Whether you own a private pool, live in a gated community with a pool, or don't care much about swimming,
- FOR THE LOVE OF LAGUNA BEACH AND ITS PEOPLE -
please read and sign or just scroll down and sign. Thank you so much!
Why do we need a different pool? When you come to swim at our pool, chances are you either have to wait or you have to share a lane with another swimmer. Your other options are to turn around and go home or leave town altogether.
As convenient, cozy and charming as our pool is, in relation to Laguna’s population of nearly 25,000 our one and only public High School & Community Pool presents a puddle.
We pride ourselves on furnishing our residents with the optimal accommodations for the perfect lifestyle, where one would never have to leave town. We have tennis courts in abundance, we have beautifully maintained beaches, we have a Dog Park, we have galleries and museums and churches, we have kids’ parks, we have trails, and we built the Susi Q Center, and so on.
We are a truly fortunate town!
The one thing - when it comes to recreation - that is neglected, is swimming!
There is yet another important aspect:
Laguna Beach is home to distinguished schools and amazing, if not superior, young athletes.
It is not fair to our kids who want to excel in swimming and water polo to have to train elsewhere due to limited pool space!
Let’s make it possible for our aquatic athletes to train as teams here in town!
In addition, wouldn't it be wonderful if Laguna Beach could host a REAL POOL TOURNAMENT once in a while?
IT’S TIME TO FINALLY BUILD THE PROPER (50 METER LONG) POOL IN LAGUNA BEACH!!!
We deserve it; we owe it to ourselves and to our future generations.
LET’S DO IT! LET’S NOT PROCRASTINATE ANY LONGER!
Our public officials need to hear from us. Together, we can convince them to take action and start the process to build a PROPER community pool.
Once the building of this pool is authorized, the logistics will follow. Laguna is fortunate to have so many engaged citizens brimming with ideas and opinions. Amongst these folks are professional architects, builders, etc. We will come up with a sound approach!
Our city representatives do such a diligent job taking every aspect of our surroundings into consideration, listening to and respecting each individual's input. This all takes time and that's all the more reason to get started now promoting the need for a second community pool. Please help start the process by signing your name to the petition and circulating it to your friends and neighbors.
Thank you, Laguna!
For reference:
RIVERSIDE AQUATICS COMPLEX is a brand new state-of-the-art Olympic style aquatics facility which cost nearly $11 Million. The pool itself is a 65 meter all deep pool and cost $1.5 Million.
We are not asking for that kind of a facility or pool.
Knowing how supportive & generous our community can be for the right cause, some funds will be raised by means of a foundation.

yes pls. the current pool is way to small and always crowded.
about time. dont understand why a beach town doesnt have a proper 50m pool already. ridiculous.
FINALLY. been asking for this for years. my kids are competitive swimmers and the travel to other cities is insane.
Great idea. Keep the progress moving!
Living in LB my whole life and it is crazy we have to drive so far just to get a real lap swim in. We really need this.
A larger pool and parking facility is badly needed. The school athletes need their own pool for competitive events and training. The public needs their own pool for conditioning. Running is not for everyone and can be dangerous in traffic. Biking in Laguna is also hazardous. Not everyone has access for appropriate weight training; as a senior whose joints are compromised, injuries can occur from lifting heavy weights. Swimming is relatively safe by comparison, but ocean swimming can be cold in winter and dangerous when rough or visibility is low. I feel safer in a pool, but often have to pass since there is no parking , no room to swim, or a water polo practice or game. It is actually easier to get a tee time than to try to find a free lane at the high school pool, but golf costs more. and is a different kind of exercise. Though I support the town with property taxes, the pool is seldom available to me. If it takes a "real COMMUNITY pool," to assure equal availability to local residents, that is what we should have. Respectfully yours, Claire Carter
