Practice Pools & Locations
Santa Barbara Water Polo Club is proud to train at some of the best aquatic facilities in the area. Our primary practice locations are San Marcos High School, Santa Barbara High School and Dos Pueblos High School pools, each offering convenient access for our athletes and families.
In addition to local practices, our teams occasionally travel for weekend tournaments, typically held in Oxnard, Irvine or Los Angeles. These 1–2 day events give players the chance to compete at a higher level while building camaraderie and gaining valuable game experience.
San Marcos High School (SMHS)
103 S Turnpike Rd, Santa Barbara, CA 93111
Parking: Use the student lot off of Turnpike.
To get to the pool either walk through the gym (if open) or around the left side of the building towards the football field and then turn right at the chain link fence (you will see a couple of basketball courts and most likely a water polo goal or two)
Santa Barbara High School (SBHS)
700 E Anapamu St, Santa Barbara, CA 93103
Parking: Use either of the student lots (enter off Anapamu) or park on a side street. On weekdays do not park by the cafeteria (the lot on the right when you enter from Canon Perdido) - this is for staff. Do not park down by the pool - this is for staff and emergency vehicles only.
To get to the pool from campus walk down the stair case to the left of the Gym (the building across the flagpole/roundabout from the main school building).
To get to the pool from the side streets either walk down the hill at the end of Carrillo (technically Gold Street :) ) or the stairs at the end of Rinconada Rd.
Dos Pueblos High School (DPHS)
7266 Alameda Ave, Goleta, CA 93117
Parking: Use the student lot on the corner of Alameda and Cathedral Oaks
To get to the pool use the stairs at the corner of the parking lot next to the tennis courts, when you get to the bottom turn left and walk on the pathway along the hill. The pool will be on your right through the blue chain link fence/gate.
