Oceana Swimming Pool
The Oceana swimming pool is a 10 lane, 25 yard indoor pool that is open year round. The City of Pacifica, Parks Beaches & Recreation Department is the primary user of the pool and offers a wide array of aquatic programs for participants. Our mission is to foster human development, promote health and wellness; strengthen safety and security by providing programs for all to play and learn.
The pool boasts a 1 meter and a 3 meter diving board. Depth ranges from 3 feet to 12 feet. Pool temperature is maintained at 82 degrees. There are dressing rooms that include lockers; however, participants must provide their own locks and towels.
