The Lake Forest High School Aquatic Center pool is approximately 40 yards long and 20 yards wide with a moveable bulkhead that separates a diving area with two one- meter diving boards from an 8-lane, 25 yard or meter swimming area.  The diving well can also accommodate six 20-yard lanes for lap swimming when the diving boards are not in use.    The pool balcony can hold up to 500 spectators.  Our facility is handicapped accessible with a hydraulic lift in the shallow end for swimmers and deck access for handicapped spectators
    
The pool depth ranges from 4 feet to 14 feet, and the pool holds approximately 450,000 gallons of water.  The pool is heated with temperatures ranging from 78 – 82 degrees fahrenheit.  The PH is maintained between 7.4 and 7.6, and the pool is disinfected with chlorine tablets at a rate of 1.0 – 1.5 ppm.      
    
The pool is used before and after school for high school athletics and during school for Physical Education and Science classes.  In the early morning and late evening hours and on weekends we provide the community with space for lap swimming and family swim times. 
The pool can be rented and has been utilized in the past for Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, birthday parties, girl and boy scout badge work and family reunions.
